Joystick or paddles.
|
||
|
||
The object is to shoot the floating numbers and mathematical operands
|
||
and place them down below in a balanced mathematical expression such
|
||
as 234+14=248. Blank spaces don't matter, so 2 34+1 4=2 48 is
|
||
acceptable. No operands may be on the right side of the '=' sign and
|
||
the result can't be equal to 0.
|
||
|
||
The scarabs to the side indicate how many machines you have left. You
|
||
may shoot and be shot by the other player which results in an award of
|
||
10 points to the shooting player and the loss of a piece to the
|
||
victim.
|
||
|
||
Press the paddle button to shoot a number, then move your scarab down
|
||
below the main screen and drop your number in one of the slots
|
||
available. If you accidently pick up a number or operand you don't
|
||
want, then you must position yourself above the 'garbage' hole toward
|
||
the bottom center of the screen, then press the paddle button to drop
|
||
the unwanted digit. If at any time you accidentally drop a number or
|
||
operand in the wrong place so that your expression shows little chance
|
||
of balancing, move your scarab as close to the bottom center of the
|
||
screen as possible and press the paddle button. This will release all
|
||
of your numbers and allow you to start over.
|
||
|
||
Scoring:
|
||
The four operands are + (addition), - (subtraction), x
|
||
(multiplication), / (division). These are worth 1,2,3 and 4 points
|
||
respectively. The computer goes through the equation and adds the
|
||
value of the operands, multiplies this by the length of the smallest
|
||
number, and multiplies that by 10. You also receive 10 points for
|
||
zapping the other player. CTRL-S will toggle sound on/off.
