PEDEICIDE

This is yer basic shooter-type game. It should run on any PC with a
mouse...even a WinXP system.


SCORING

Mushroom:   1 (must shoot it 4 times)
Segment:   10
Head:     100
Flea:     200 (must shoot it twice)
Spider:   300, 600 or 900 depending on distance

Partially shot mushrooms are restored when the player dies, and each one
is worth 5 points.


MISC

The game was originally created by Atari in 1980 and called "Centipede".
Richard Ottosen, Bill Bailey and yours-truly made a version soon
afterwards that ran on the Apple II computer in text mode. This is a
resurrection of that version using graphic sprites.

The sprites were created with DeluxePaint II, then cropped and converted
from an .LBM file to a .BMP using Graphic Workshop. The first 32 color
registers are the default colors, followed by 32 shades of blue, then
green, magenta, red, cyan, yellow, and orange.


Have fun!
