by Alan Farmer, June 1985
-------------------------------------------------------------
Willy the Worm is a user-supported program. Feel free to

Uses of the editor:
The screen editor for Willy the Worm can be used to modify
the eight screens used in the game and to preview and
practice on the higher ones. If a screen is too hard or you
want to design your own screens entirely, read on.
Getting Started:
To enter the screen editor, enter 'EDWILLY' at the DOS
prompt. Press Enter when asked to do so. Next you are asked
which screen you want to edit. Answer wth a number from 1 to
8. The screen you choose will then be displayed.
Editing keys:
'A' is the help key. Pressing this key will display a window
with a summary of the following instructions.
The arrow keys move the cursor (the blinking pixel) around
the screen. Any changes you make will occur at the location
of this cursor.
'K' brings up the prompt for which screen to edit. Use this
to go to another screen.
'L' saves all screens on disk for use with the main program.
DO NOT forget to save your work before you leave the program!
';' copies any screen to any other. WARNING: this destroys
the screen that is copied over.
'.' plays the screen you are currently editing. The score is
included for reference and does not go on the high score
list.
'/' changes the starting position to the cursor position on
the current screen. The starting position is represented by
Willy the Worm facing left.
',' enters the small square that produces or removes balls.
The topmost small square on the screen is automatically
chosen to produce balls and all other remove them.
'U' enters a vertical spring at the cursor position. 'I'
enters a tack. 'O' enters a section of ladder. 'P' enters a
bell. 'J' enters a horizontal spring. 'M' enters a present.
Various other keys enter sections of wall and floor. See the
help window ('A') for a complete list. You may want to do a
screen dump of the help window if you have a dot matrix
printer and the DOS program GRAPHICS.
Making DONATIONS:
You've heard it all before: "The development of this software
has taken much time and effort. If we are to continue our
production of user-supported software, your contributions are
vital." Well, I can tell you first-hand that it's true. If
enough people send ten dollars, maybe I'll find it in my
heart to write "Willy The Worm II" or "Pete the Pigeon".
Hint: If you like this game a LOT, you can send more than ten
dollars!
Have gobs of fun and don't forget to pass copies on to all of
your friends!

Instructions for Willy the Worm
by Alan Farmer, June 1985
-------------------------------------------------------------
Willy the Worm is a user-supported program. Feel free to
make copies and pass them out, but please do not sell them.
Donations of about $10 would be greatly appreciated. Please
send your questions, comments, high scores, improved game
screens, and DONATIONS to:

-------------------------------------------------------------
Interesting features:
Willy the Worm is a fast, challenging arcade style game with
the following special features:
* Fully compatible with IBM PC and PCjr
* Color and sound effects are supported but optional
* Not one or two but EIGHT game screens
* Editor included for customizing the game screens
* Top ten high scores and names are saved on disk
Starting the game:
To start the game, just enter 'WILLY' at the DOS prompt.
Answer the two questions (color and sound used) with 'Y' for
'Yes' or 'N' for 'No'. After that, the title screen will be
displayed with some basic instructions.
Playing the game:
The object of the game is to reach the bell without being
squashed by a cannonball or running out of time. Extra
points may be earned by getting presents along the way and by
jumping over the balls. After you reach the bell you will be
awarded points for the remaining time and you will advance to
the next screen.
The game is played with the four arrow keys to make Willy the
Worm run left and right and climb ladders up and down, and
the spacebar to make him jump. (Note that when jumping, Willy
can change directions in mid-air. This can be extremely
useful!) Any other key makes him stop. On the PC, a
convenient stop key is the '5' on the numeric keypad and on
the PCjr DEL works well. To exit to DOS during the game,
please use ESC rather than CTRL-C because this will save
changes to the high score list before leaving.
If you find this game too hard (or too easy), read the
EDWILLY.DOC file and use the screen editor to make it suit
your fancy. You can also use the editor to get a preview and
practice on the higher levels.
Scoring:
The bonus counter is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
It starts at 1000 and counts down by tens. When you finish a
level, the remaining bonus is added to your score. If the
bonus gets to 0, you lose a worm and start the level over.
Jumping over one or more balls earns 20 points. Getting a
present is 100 points. After the game, the high scores are
displayed in two lists. The 'Daily Pinworms' list resets
each time you enter the program, while the 'All-Time
Nightcrawlers' list is saved on disk.
If you damage a file:
The batch file RESTORE.BAT will copy hidden backup copies of
all the files required by WIlly the Worm and the game screen
editor. These are: WILLY.COM, WILLY.SCR, WILLY.DAT,
WILLY.CHR, and EDWILLY.COM. Be warned that this will over-
write changes to the screens and the high score list. This
batch file uses the two utility programs on this disk,
VIS.COM and INVIS.COM, which make directory entries visible
and invisible, respectively. The syntax for these commands
is (IN)VIS filename. Paths may be used but wild card char-
acters may not.
Making DONATIONS:
You've heard it all before: "The development of this software
has taken much time and effort. If we are to continue our
production of user-supported software, your contributions are
vital." Well, I can tell you first-hand that it's true. If
enough people send ten dollars, maybe I'll find it in my
heart to write "Willy The Worm II" or "Pete the Pigeon".
Hint: If you like this game a LOT, you can send more than ten
dollars!
Have gobs of fun and don't forget to pass copies on to all of
your friends!
