4. HOW TO PLAY
Gator Panic is designed for all players, from children to grown-ups.
When the game starts, the alligators come out from the 5 holes at random.
The object of the game is to hit the alligators while they are out. One point is scored
each time an alligator is hit. The more hits, the more points achieved. If an alligator
reaches the skull zone at the front, the player is considered to have been bitten by the
alligator and a count is subtracted from the points scored.
If the player scores 40 or more points within the specified time, an extended play
period (10 seconds) is given.
At the end of the game, the player is given one of five ranks according to their score.
Automatic Game Difficulty Adjustment
This game does not have manual settings for game difficulty, but automatically adjusts
game difficulty depending upon the skill of the player.
The system works by adjusting the time for an alligator to pop out by sensing the time
taken for the player to hit an alligator after the alligator has come out.
The game will be harder if the player is fast and easier if the player is slow making the
game more suitable for all age groups.
