!Help file for Racer

By Lee McGinty (c) May 1991

This is a game that runs entirely on the icon bar. It is very useful if
you are working in an environment where you shouldn't be playing games (such
as at school) as it is not immediately apparent what you are doing.
Many thanks to the Lord of Entropy, whose Icon Bar Ball game gave me the
inspiration for this and also to William Gould for reinforcing the idea.

This racing car game is very reminiscent of Overdrive on the old BBC B.
Anyway click on the icon bar icon to start and then moving the pointer left
and right has the same effect on the car. The rules are simple; avoid the
blue cars at all costs.

The red bar at the side of the play area increases every time you pass a car.
When this bar reaches the top, you progress to the next level (new graphics)
there are five levels in all and it is pretty difficult to clear them all.

Sometimes, you will get killed immediately as you start. Well I'm sorry,
you'll just have to put up with it!

PS. This is really quite a playable game when you get into it. The
different levels are stored in the sprite file. Try designing your own!
