-------------------------------------------------- ----------- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ----------- -------------------------------------------------- 1) What is Level Mode? Answer: Level Mode is where you play increasingly difficult levels. The higher the level number, the faster the chickens run and the more you need to kill. Each level always begins with 60 seconds on the clock. The scoring format differs from Classic Mode, judging your skill via Accuracy. Some colored gems offer rewards different from the Classic Mode. Red: +3 seconds Green: +5 rocket radius Blue: +1 second Accuracy is determined with this far-less-than-perfect equation: accuracy = 70(kills / shots_fired) + 30(timer / 60) You will be awarded green floating bonus points if your accuracy exceeds 100% Keep in mind you lose an additional second each time you shoot! You cannot "win" in Level Mode. There is no last level. That means this game has infinite replay value, because you can NEVER beat it! Hurrah! 2) What is Classic Mode? Answer: Classic Mode is the type of gameplay of the original chickens game. It does have a few enhancements such as the shotgun and more gem bonuses, but the mindset is the same. You are on a 2-minute timer, and you mustn't let any chicken run or fly to the opposite side of your screen. When this happens, you die die DIE. Each time you shoot, you lose an additional second. "Group them and blow the shit out of them," I used to say. 3) How can I use a different High-Score name? Answer: ./chickens -name your_name 4) How do I change the configuration file? Answer: Just open 'options.cfg' in your favorite text editor. I made comments about each variable, so enjoy. 5) The chickens are running wicked fast! Why? Answer: It's more exciting. 6) Dude, what's with the Tenderizer sound effect? Answer: Umm...Three? I'm not sure what you mean. 7) How do I use the shotgun? Answer: Right-click the mouse. 8) So with rockets only the 'X' mouse coordinate matters? Answer: Yes. This ain't no bug. This was the best way for me to implement the shotgun. The original Chickens game lets you shoot beneath the ground the same way (but there's no 2nd weapon)... 9) What features can I expect from the next version? Answer: A more polished Level Mode. HighScore support for Level Mode Chickens that fly towards you. Maybe a better Tenderizer sound, too.
