Collisions 2000 - Enter The Magic Drainpipe
It is the year 2000 and the last spherical object in the
entire universe has just floated down the strange new phenomenon
in quantum physics known as the magic drainpipe. Obviously, this
seriously threatens the future of soccer and so a multi-squillion
dollar research project has been launched to try to retrieve the
ball which has recently been sighted in a strange dimension just
off the East coast. It is your job to guide the sphere back to
Leeds, where it can be cloned and used to create a footballing
paradise.
When the game is loaded then you are presented with the main
menu, complete with a wonderful scrolltext. The three icons down
the left hand side are (top to bottom) help, editor and quit.
Note that if you want to create your own levels, then the game
must be copied from the Arc World disk to your own blank disk.
To turn the sound on and off, click on the 'speaker icons'.
To turn the music on and off, click on the 'music icons'.
Do not worry if you find these instructions complicated.
They will become clear when you play the game.
THE GAME:
To start a game press space, click on 'Enter the Magic
Drainpipe' or enter a password (by clicking on the password icon).
When the game is started then you will see the playing area (the
white rectangle) and the control panel below. In a certain time
limit, shown in the statistics section of the control panel, the
sphere will be released and must reach the finish block (the multi-
coloured polka dots). To ensure that the ball reaches the finish
square, you must place certain blocks yourself. Do this by
clicking over the icon on the control panel representing the
block you wish to place. Then click over the position in the
playing area, where you would like the block to go. Different
blocks have different effects. The effects of each block are
described below in the same order as they appear on the control
panel.
Reverse - When the ball passes OVER this block it will change
direction.
Normal - The ball will just move over this block with no other
effect.
Bounce - When the ball passes OVER this block, it will speed up
and jump the next two squares, assuming nothing is in its path.
Hole - The ball will fall through the holes.
You will meet many other blocks apart from this, but they
are only available from the editor.
After you have placed all the blocks and you feel that you
are ready for the ball to come out then press the right hand mouse
button. Note that you are only allocated a certain number of each
type of block. The number of blocks available to
you is shown on the control
panel depending on which block is currently selected. If your ball
becomes trapped then you can commit suicide by pressing 'S' while
the ball is moving, or return to the main menu by pressing
ESCAPE.
To quit the game, click on the 'Acorn' icon from the main
menu.
Hints: Watch out for lifts, invisible blocks and ball crushing
machines.
There are some interesting features which you will have to
find for yourselves, particularly related to lifts, changing
direction and committing suicide.
You cannot 'bounce' into the finish block.
THE EDITOR:
The more adventurous players may wish to design their own
levels. This can be done by using the built-in editor.
When you enter the editor, you will see the blocks at the
bottom of the screen and the editing area above them. Select
the block which you wish to place by clicking over it and
position it by clicking in the editing area with the left hand
button. If you wish to erase a block, you must click with the
right hand button. When you position a lift block, you must place
two blocks: the starting position of the lift and then the
finishing position of the lift. Note that lifts can only move
vertically and you cannot have more than one lift in the same
horizontal position.
To use the numerous options of the editor click on
'Options'. Most of the options are self-explanatory, but there
are a few which must be explained:
Save/Load level: DO NOT REMOVE THE COLLISIONS DISC! The levels
are automatically saved on the collisions disk in a special
directory exclusively for level data! You must enter the name of
your set of levels when prompted and then enter the number of the
level you wish to save/load. To play a set of levels which you
have saved, you must select to 'Load level set' from the main
menu.
Load Blocks: Will load a new set of icons for you to position.
No. of blocks: Allows you to set the number of blocks which can
be placed by the user when playing your level. There are four
sets of blocks available (Biological (default), Technical,
Industrial and Mad!)
Statistics: Allows you to set the time-limit and password for
your level.
Return to editor: Redraw your level in the editing area and allow
you to continue editing.
To return to the main menu from the editor, you must click on the
'Menu' icon.
