Argh:

:
If the score board entry displays "Argh" it means the worm is dead because it
tried to eat an “argh”. Until we can make the worm say "Argh!" it's your job to
say "Argh!" aloud.

Wormed:
::
:
The worm tried to eat another worm or even itself. That's why it's dead now.
Making traps for other players with a worm is a good way to get them out of the
game.

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 Jukebox 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.

This demo is of the word “Rockbox” bouncing across the screen. There is also an
analogue clock on the Recorder platform. (The Ondio does not have clock
support.)
