The classic game of minesweeper. Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the
required percentage of mines to set the difficulty then press the MENU
key to begin.
The aim of the game is to uncover all of the squares on the board. If a
mine is uncovered then the game is over. If a mine is not uncovered,
then the number of mines adjacent to the current square is revealed.
The aim is to use the information you are given to work out where the
mines are and avoid them. When the player is certain that they know
the location of a mine, it can be tagged to avoid accidentally
``stepping'' on it.

For 2{}-player games a remote control is not necessary but recommended.

you'll find out why. Games with three players are only

\subsubsection{The game}
Use the control keys of your worm to navigate around obstacles and find
food. Worms do not stop moving except when dead. Dead worms are no fun.
Be careful as your worm will try to eat anything that you steer it
across. It won't distinguish whether it's edible or not.
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Food}
The small square hollow pieces are food. Move the worm over a food tile
to eat it. After eating the worm grows. Each time a piece of food has
been eaten a new piece of food will pop up somewhere. Unfortunately for
each new piece of food that appears two new ``argh'' pieces will
appear, too.
\item \textbf{Argh}
An ``argh'' is a black square poisoned piece {}- slightly bigger than
food {}- that makes a worm say ``Argh!'' when
run into. A worm that eats an ``argh'' is dead. Thus eating an
``argh'' must be avoided under any circumstances. ``Arghs'' have the
annoying tendency to accumulate.
\item \textbf{Worms}
Thou shall not eat worms. Neither other worms nor thyself. Eating worms
is blasphemous cannibalism, not healthy and causes instant
death. And it doesn't help anyway: the other worm
isn't hurt by the bite. It will go on creeping happily
and eat all the food you left on the table.
\item \textbf{Walls}
Don't crash into the walls. Walls are not edible.
Crashing a worm against a wall causes it a headache it
doesn't survive.
\item \textbf{Game over}
The game is over when all worms are dead. The longest worm wins the
game.
\item \textbf{Pause the game}
Press the PLAY key to pause the game. Hit PLAY again to resume the game.
\item \textbf{Stop the game}
There are two ways to stop a running game.
\begin{itemize}
\item If you want to quit Wormlet entirely simply hit the OFF button.
The game will stop immediately and you will return to the game menu.
\item If you want to stop the game and still see the screen hit the ON
button. This freezes the game. If you hit the ON button again a new
game starts with the same configuration. To return to the games menu
you can hit the OFF button. A stopped game can not be resumed.
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\subsubsection{The scoreboard}
On the right side of the game field is the score board. For each worm it
displays its status and its length. The top most entry displays the
state of worm 1, the second worm 2 and the third worm 3. When a worm
dies it's entry on the score board turns black.
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Len:}
Here the current length of the worm is displayed. When a worm is eating
food it grows by one pixel for each step it moves.
\item \textbf{Hungry:}
That's the normal state of a worm. Worms are always
hungry and want to eat. It's good to have a hungry
worm since it means that your worm is alive. But it's
better to get your worm growing.
\item \textbf{Growing:}
When a worm has eaten a piece of food it starts growing. For each step
it moves over food it can grow by one pixel. One piece of food lasts
for 7 steps. After your worm has moved 7 steps the food is used up. If
another piece of food is eaten while growing it will increase the size
of the worm for another 7 steps.
\item \textbf{Crashed:}
This indicates that a worm has crashed against a wall.
\item \textbf{Argh:}
If the score board entry displays ``Argh!'' it
means the worm is dead because it tried to eat an ``argh''. Until we
can make the worm say ``Argh!'' it's your job to say ``Argh!'' aloud.
\item \textbf{Wormed:}
The worm tried to eat another worm or even itself.
That's why it's dead now. Making traps for other players with a worm is a good way to get them out of the game.
\end{itemize}
\subsubsection{Hints}
\begin{itemize}
\item Initially you will be busy with controlling your worm. Try to
avoid other worms and crawl far away from them. Wait until they curl up
themselves and collect the food afterwards. Don't worry if the other worms grow longer than yours {}- you can catch up after they've died.
\item When you are more experienced watch the tactics of other worms.
Those worms controlled by artificial stupidity head straight for the
nearest piece of food. Let the other worm have its next piece of food
and head for the food it would probably want next. Try to put yourself
between the opponent and that food. From now on you can 'control' the other worm by blocking it. You could trap it by making a 1 pixel wide U{}-turn. You also could move from food to food and make sure you keep between your opponent and
the food. So you can always reach it before your opponent.
\item While playing the game the Jukebox can still play music. For
single player game use any music you like. For berserk games with 2 players use hard rock and for 3 player games use heavy metal or X{}-Phobie
(\url{http://www.x-phobie.de/}).
Play fair and don't kick your opponent in the toe or
poke him in the eye. That would be bad manners.
