Hints
• 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.
• 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.
• While playing the game the player 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 (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.
12.1.29. Xobox
Figure 12.25.: Xobox
Xobox is a simple clone of the well known arcade game Qix. The aim of the game is to
section off parts of the arena with your trail in order to remove that section from the
game. Be careful not to get in the way of enemy balls because, if they hit you or your
trail, you lose a life. To finish a level you have to section off more than 75%.
