INTRODUCTION



The aim of the game is to avoid collision with you own green

or yellow trail, and those of up to four chasers (red/blue),

as you rush through an empty 3 dimensional space. As more

trails are laid it becomes increasingly difficult to thread

you way through the KNOTs created.



LOADING



Use filename "KNOT". The program will load in two parts. If

any difficulty is experienced consult your Spectrum manual.



THE GAME



On loading, the configuration of the controls and modes of

play are set up by questions and answers. Exit from

demonstration is via BREAK. The keyboard controls used are

the CURSOR keys. A short press will turn you in the

appropriate direction. A longer press will turn you once

more. You must release the key before you can turn in that

direction again, A hold facility is available; H holds, and

S restarts.



The score panel below the screen indiactes:



(a) Your Score : One point for each move forward. As the

markers are passed a new phase is

entered; the space is cleared and another

chaser introduced.

(b) Density : Indicates how dense the space is with

tracks and therefore whether large voids

are still available.

(c) Faults : A fault is indicated whenever you pass

through a track. They are continuously

collected if you travel along the

existing path.

(d) Phase Number : On the left hand side, indicates the

number of chasers.



TACTICS



As the space begins to fill, there may be times of apparent

inactivity, but it is at this time that the style of game is

created. Continuous travel in one direction generates an

impenetrable wall that makes the game more difficult later.
