JUMP x POINTS
(defaults (1, 1, 1, 2),
(1, 1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 3, 4), range 0 -100) -
During the game, the player is presented
with up to four obstacles. Clearing an
obstacle earns the player points (which
become prizes). Each successful jump
awards the points and presents the
player with a more difficult obstacle at
his next jump. Since there are four
obstacles and four types of obstacles,
only a player who make all four jumps
will be able to add JUMP 4 POINTS to
his score. If a player misses a jump and
trips, he will be presented with the same
obstacle again and again until either he
makes it or the game ends. A very poor
player who cannot clear jump class 1
will earn no points/prizes from jumps.
A player who can clear jump classes 1,
2, and 3 but not 4 will earn (in medium
settings) 1+ 1 + 2 points, or 4 total from
jumps.
TARGET SIZE
(default 80%, 100%,
120%, range 0%(OFF)-200% in steps of
5%) - On the far side of each jump is a
target, in the form of a large ticket.
Landing precisely in the target area will
award the player the number of points
shown on the target. The default
difficulty of hitting the target is
approximately equal to that of clearing
the class 4 obstacle, but because there
are four chances per race, hitting one or
two targets is not unusual, but hitting all
four is nearly impossible. This
adjustment controls the size of (and
therefore difficulty of hitting) each
target. For ease of use it is listed as a
percentage of the default size. At 50%
it is half as small as the default size, at
200% it is twice as big. Due to the
amount of space covered by a player
during a program cycle, sizes below
about 25% may be completely
impossible to hit. A setting of 0%
disables the target feature.
1ST-4TH TARGET POINTS
(defaults
(1, 1, 2, 10), (1, 2, 5, 20), (1, 2, 5, 20),
range 0-100) - These control the
payouts of each target. The first target
that a player hits is worth 1ST TARGET
POINTS, the second is worth 2ND
TARGET POINTS, and so on. Setting
4TH TARGET POINTS to 0(OFF) will
also disable the target feature.
