HPWorms 1.0 Beta by

Game made in Machin Language for HP48g(x) and HP49g

*Content of HPWorms1.0B_FR.ZIP:

*Installation of game:
- Download the file HPWorms1.0B_EN48/9.COD in the HP48/9.
- In regard to the editor, you must download it in the HP48/9 ; the editor is a directory.
- For playing with a personal landscape such as Landscap48/9.ZIP, you must put in the level 1 the string representing the landscape and run the game. Then, in the main menu, you must go in 'Select the landscape' and next 'Integrate a new landscape'. If the integration has failed, it's because the landscape was incorrect (you will see an error message ). If it succeed, you will hear a little sound and you come back to the main menu; select 'Begin the match' for begin with the new level or go to 'Select the landscape' to have a miniature.

*Running the game:
For play to HPWorms, you must have 4000 free octets memory otherwise all the indicators of HP48/9 light up: it's more beautiful than an "INSUFFICIENT MEMORY". Sometimes, with a kernel like Java on HP48, the game jams (locks) : the screen goes blank and the calculator gets in coma mode. I don't understand that because the problem is "randomize" !
After having launched HPWorms, the introduction might appear.

*HPWorms's keys: Click on the title!
On HPWorms for HP49g, the keys for Yes or No are K or W

*Some information:
- When an earthworm takes a long fall, he loses few points of live and can die!
- Likewise, if you have any time, you have a penaltie of 1 point (time is life).
- You can abort the game with all interruptions (ON-C, ...).
- If you have a HP40g, I think you could play HPWorms in the future version.

*Thanks:
- Thank at all people who help me at the conversion of HPWorms for HP49.

*Screen shoot made with the 'LandScreenShooter':
