Steer your car around the lanes, scoring points
for running over the dots, and beat the high
score. A computer-controlled car drives around
the lanes in the opposite direction, programmed
to crash into you; dots it runs over are squashed,
and reduced in value.



Dodgems Game Controls
---------------------
CTRL/SHIFT - Move towards edge/centre of track, REPT - Increase speed

At normal speed you move two lanes at once, but at 
the higher speed you only move one lane.

If you clear the lanes of dots you start with a
new screen where the cars move faster and you score
more points per dot.

Watch the sequence of blocks flashed on the 
screen and then reproduce the sequence using the
four keys:

 ___ ___
| R | Y |
|___|___|
| C | B |
|___|___|

If you get the sequence correct, the sequence
will be repeated with an extra block to remember.

If your Atom can display colour, the blocks 
will appear in the colours Red, Yellow,
Coloured (striped) and Blue, corresponding to
the four keys.



Amoeba

Program 3K, graphics 3K. Author Clive Feather

Amoeba is a shape-making game for one to four
players; with one player you play against the
computer. With more players the players compete
against each other; a score is displayed for
each player, and an underline indicates which
player is due to move.

At the start of the game a grid is displayed, 
with two pointers positioned along each edge of
the matrix. The computer will display shapes to
be constructed by altering connections on the
grid. There are a total of 36 different shapes.



Game Controls
-------------
To make a move, the pointers should first be
positioned at the required corner by moving them
up with the SHIFT key and right with the REPT
key. Typing CTRL will then change the connections
at the specified corner. Note that it is illegal
to make a move that has just been made by
another player.



Scoring
-------
A player scores for completing a shape, depending
on the shape's complexity, and on the next turn is
given a new shape to construct. In the game for
2 to 4 players each player starts with a score of
zero, and scores for each shape constructed. In the 
one-player game you start with 100 points, and 5
points are deducted for each move; the computer
makes random moves to hinder your progress.
