Attack Of The ASCII Trolls V2 Walkthrough
0Made in 2005 as I was learning how to program computers.
(Youre the O. You have to get to the yellow * .The !s follow your movements but you cant touch them or you die. You cant walk into @ but you can push against # to move the !s without moving yourself. ! can get rid of . by moving into them. The O can get rid of + by walking into them. ^ reverses movement. % destroys everything that moves into it and then disappears.)
Quotes from the readme file:
SECTION 1
---------------------------------------
Have you got what it takes to be an ASCII maze master? Navigate your way to the exit in a series of levels whilst avoiding evil ASCII trolls who mirror your every movement.
Instructions:
You should try and play the levels in order... However I have not set this in stone because if you get stuck, it might detract from the enjoyment of the game.
Menu controls:
W = Up
S = Down
Enter = Select
Escape : Quit/Back
I: Install level set (level set selection menu only!)
U: Uninstall highlighted level set (level set selection menu only!)
Game controls:
W = Up
S = Down
A = Left
D = Right
escape = Suicide!
Key :
O = You
! = Evil ASCII troll (Touch this and die)
* = Exit
@ = Endless Pit of despair. (This means you die!)
^ = Whirling Vortex of Confusion. (Inverts your controls... Doesn't invert trolls)
% = Unholy Plant of Destruction. Anything moving onto this square dies, whether it be our hero or a troll.
+ = This block disappears when 'O' walks into it. Trolls cannot move onto these squares when they exist.
. = This block disappears when a troll walks into it. Our hero 'O' cannot move onto these squares when they exits.
ASCII Trolls:
These emerged around 1963... They have been lurking ever since, only to attack now! Luckily they have little intelligence, so they just mirror your every move... But watch out, if you touch one they will eat you... They have superior strength. However, their stupidity also means that they will eat each other when they cross paths... Keep this in mind.
Ascii trolls are afraid of exits, they do not go on exit squares and although they lack any intelligence, they are clever enough to know not to fall down endless pits of despair. If you move against an obstacle, they will still move. This is essential for completion of most levels.
SECTION 2
