NAME

pipenightdreams - Just another pipe trip (PipeDream clon).

SYNOPSIS

pipenightdreams [--datadir <DATADIR>] [--fullscreen]

DESCRIPTION

pipenightdreams is a PipeDream style game. The objetive of the game is to carry liquid from some point to the exit using different kinds of pipes. On each level there is a minimum number of required pipes that should be at least reached for it to be completed.

The score is increased by using as many pipes as possible an by collecting various bonus tokens making the liquid pass through their pipes. There are also life bonus and, hopefully soon, "freeze tokens".

The game is not exactly a copy of PipeDream. It's based only on the facts I remember and on many other things which have been added, or changed hoping for making it better.

KEYS

The game is entirely played using the keyboard and the key layout is as follows:

SPACE: Puts the next pipe where the pointer is.
CURSOR KEYS: Move the pointer.
ENTER: Speeds up the liquid (Avoids skillful players to get bored).
ESC: Goes back to the main screen or exits.

BONUS TYPES

The various types of bonus tokens are the following:

LIFE BONUS

The purple one with a "L" on it.

SUPER BONUS

The red one with a "B" on it.

ULTRA BONUS

The blue one.

HYPER BONUS

The green one.

OPTIONS

--datadir <CUSTOM DATA DIR> is used when the data directory is not the default one ( /usr/share/games/pipenightdreams if installed from a rpm package and /usr/local/share/games/pipenightdreams when installed by compiling the source package).

--fullscreen switchs to fullscreen mode.
