Description
Each player is in control of a moving dot which leaves a trail behind it.
The dot may be turned left or right from the direction in which it's
moving, using a pair of keys or mouse buttons that is assigned when the
game begins. Each player is represented by a dot and trail of a different
color.
"It's simple." The idea is to avoid crashing into anything. If you ram
your dot into another player or your own trail, you've lost the round. If
you have chosen to have a border around the screen, you will have to avoid
that too (otherwise, you can go across one edge of the screen and come out
the other side). If there are three players and one of them crashes, the
other two will continue the round until only one (or none) survives. There
are ten rounds to the game. At the end, the players are ranked in order
of how well they've done.
Offensive strategy involves trying to limit the room in which the other
player(s) have to manuever. If you can box them into a corner, you're
home free. If there is no screen border, leaving a trail along part of
the edge of one screen can annihilate someone abruptly if they try to
cross from the other edge without paying enough attention. There are
quite a few possibilities, actually, but I'll leave them for you to work
out...
Defensive strategy, especially if there are three players, has its own
quirks. It might occasionally be fun to box yourself into a reasonably
large area and leave your opponents to hack up the rest of the screen, for
instance.
