TrailOfSlimer

How to play:

Use arrows or wasd to control the slimer and absorb the food.  If you can absorb all of the food then you win!  

'r' to restart

many other keys pause.

Background:

This took some doing to get working.  I programmed this in 16 bit real mode using Borland C++ entirely in DOSBox.  It only uses BIOS interrupts.  its only 4,866bytes and that is including the extra junk Borland put in there.

Future:

It needs more levels and many other bits of polish.  Perhaps they will come soon.

How to get it running:

On Mac:

1. Open DOSBox

2. type `mount c ./` to mount the current folder

3. type `c:` to go to that folder

4. type `slimer` to run the game

If that doesn't work here are some instructions about getting DOSBox working on Mac

On other Modern Computers:

The process should be similar as on Mac but possibly you can drag the game into the DOSBox window or onto the icon and it will work right away.  That didnt work for me but if not here are some more instructions about getting DOSBox working on Windows

On Old Computers:

Or for the adventurous and enterprising MS-DOS users out there this should run in any version of DOS on ancient computers even as far back as 286's and before.    I haven't and cant test it on an old machine but let me know what you find out.
