Space Worm game instructions
----------------------------

- Levels
  To complete a level you need to grow to a certain size. This size is determined by each level 
  and the difficulty. When you have completed a level, your SpaceWorm will automaticly jump into 
  hyperspace  and proceed to the next level. You are not able to open warp portals when hyperspace 
  is being prepared.

- How to expand
  In order to grow you need to collect "food". This food appears on the levels by themselves and 
  your  task is to collect them with your SpaceWorm. When you collect food your tail module will 
  be able to generate more body modules, and your SpaceWorm will grow.

  Food			Score 		Growth
  Gas clouds		200		2
  Energy fields		500		4
  Power packets		800		5
  Dimension pods	1400		7

- Tail Rockets
  The tail rockets are attached to your ship by simply running over them after they have appeared 
  on your level. This is a very effective if you want to run faster or slower for a while. For 
  example if you want to overtake your opponent and sneak food from him. See SpaceWorm user 
  interface instructions for keys. Score: 800

- Warp Portals
  Warp portals are very effective when your SpaceWorm are trapped and cant get out. When a warp 
  portal is opened, your SpaceWorm will pass through the portal and appear on another place on the 
  level. This can be very hazardous because it's impossible to determine where it will appear. 
  So use it with respect. See SpaceWorm user interface instructions for keys.

- Score
  Every time you collect food your score will increase according to what food you picked. 
  The score is decreasing at a constant speed. This gives the game more action when the player 
  won't be able to chicken around. So go for the food with a reasonbly speed.

 
SpaceWorms
----------

- Two SpaceWorms
  You can select between two diffrent SpaceWorms. The first one is a bit faster then the other but 
  can take less damage. The second ship is slower but its shields are very strong.

- Upgrading your SpaceWorm
  When a level is completed your score will be recalculated into points. With these points you are 
  able to upgrade your ship. You can distrubute your points on the following properties:
 
  Velocity		This is the acctual speed of your SpaceWorm
  Acceleration		This describes the acceleration of your SpaceWorm.
  Plasma Shields	How strong your plasma sheilds are when fully reloaded.
  Sheild Recover	How fast the shields recover after the have been weaken.
  Hyperspace jump time 	This is how many seconds your ship needs to prepare hyperspace.
  Max Warp Gates 	How many warp gates your ship open at a time.
  Lifes			The number of lifes.

  The cost for upgrading the properties vary. It's most expensive to get another life, and it's 
  cheapest to upgrade the shield. Instead of distrubuting all of your points, you may save them.

  Why upgrade Velocity and Acceleration?
  Yes it gets harder to navigate a fast ship, but the faster you complete
  a level the more score you will get. And if you are playing in two player mode it's cool to
  overtake your friend and trap him or sneak his food.
