Four bits control the directions you can move in, +3 allow you to unlock various actions, and the last, the Most Significant Bit, +makes everything work better. + +The game has two phases. Movement and Actions. + +During Movement, you can explore the board and learn about the available +tiles. Tiles you can legally move onto are highlighted. It's always possible +to stay on your current tile. + +After moving, select an action from the tile. Most actions require various +bits to be set, although all tiles have a default action, although this may +be "No effect". After the action, the tile will be replaced with a new tile. + +Some actions cost you health. When you run out of health, the game is over +and you lose. + +If you have all three colour bits set, and are on the right tile, you can +gain a point, although this unsets all the colour bits. Once you have enough +points, you win the game, and there is much rejoicing. Development notes ----------------- -- 2.34.1
