Atomics


The object of  the game  is to	buld a	molecule out  of different
atoms.

To  do this, you slide the atoms  around by, first, clicking on an
atom and then on one of the arrows that appear. The arrows show in
what  direction the atom may move. ATTENTION: an atom keeps moving
in that direction until it hits a wall or another atom.

When the program starts, it shows you, in the molecule window, the
first molecule to build . The moecule you're supposed to build can
also  be seen at any time by hitting  the F1 key. Hit ESC to leave
this molecule window again.


On the screen you can see:

The atoms.
The walls. The walls are the limts of the playing area and an atom
cannot move into/beyond them.

The first  level is VERY  easy and just  there to get  used to the
game controls.

The  game  comes  with	 two   level   files   ("levels_dat"   and
"levelpack_dat"), containing  a  certain  number  of  levels.  The
"levels_dat" file is loaded by default. Atomics tries to keep tack
of what level file you loaded and at which level you were.


Please note that I am  NOT  the  author  of  these  levels,  their
authors are mentioned in the files themselves. The level files are
simple	text files,  you can  have a  look at  thme with  any text
editor.


You can  load these files into	the game via the  F3 - import file
menu.


The F3 menu can be reached by hitting F3. It allows you to

* Quit the game
* Go to a new level
* Retry the same level
* Load a levels file
* Set the slide speed from 0 (instant) to 300 = very slow.L  A A       A AH BThe  game shows you what  level you're on and  the number of moves     AH AF       A8 AT      AF AF BThe  program has the usual pointer  environment icons the mave the8    AF A  L   A A       A A BAnd last but  not least,  you can  configure the  usual colourways    A A@ "with the usual Menuconfig program.    A AN  r o A@ A\  ga e AN A$       A$ Ax   e Aj A Wolfgang  Ax A    ' A A     A A   E   A A Credits:     A A       A A *The sprites used are taken from Watomics :     A A"       A AN http://watmoic.sourceforge.net     A" A\       AN A BThey are  copyright their respective authors,  were modified by me     A\ A@ Bto makes  them into SMSQE  sprites and are  distributed here under     A@ A

The  game shows you what  level you're on and  the number of moves
you made (clicks on atoms).


The  program has the usual pointer  environment icons the mave the
window around and be put into a button.


And last but  not least,  you can  configure the  usual colourways
with the usual Menuconfig program.



Have fun
