Picture

The game is divided in WORLDS. Each world contains 10 RINGS.
Each world is a file : "Worlds\ab_worlds.<no>".
Each ring have it's own properties :
- time of day : you must play during night, during dawn or during day,
- number of options,
- number of illness.

After all worlds are played, you will automatically play again from
the start.

Round number is the total number of played rings.

You will see the player ranking, on the bottom of the screen.

Walls
There are four types of walls (graphics used are examples, same with others GFX) :
- This type of wall is totally undestructible (hard wall). You cannot go thru it.
- This type of wall can be destructed with a bomb. You cannot go thru it.
- This type of wall can be destructed with a bomb. You can go thru it.
- These types of wall can be destructed with a bomb, but you
must try several times (one, two or three bombs, depending of the wall state).
You cannot go thru it.

Winner
The winner is the last surviving player.

We display all player score like this :

- The 1st value is the score. You have one point per player killed, if you win the level.
- The 2nd value is the number of win.
- The 3rd value is the default number of bomb of your player
- The 4th value is the default number of powder of your player

If you have a keep force option, and you are the level winner,
we display the score like this :

You keep all bombs and powder you get from the previous level to
play the next level (bombs numbers and powder level don't become
the default value).

After every 5 level win, you will have one more default bomb :

or one more default powder :

Bombs and powder
Each time you get a , you will be able to drop one more classical bomb
at a time (maximum simultaneaous bombs dropped in the level for the player).
Each time you get a , you will be able to drop one atomic bomb.
Atomic bomb are limited (if you get one, the next one dropped will be atomic).
When you are able to drop an atomic bombs, you will have an atomic
sign on you player.

Bombs explode in 4 directions :
- vertically (to up, to down),
- horizontally (to left, to right),
Classical bomb explode depending the user powder level.
But explosions are stopped by the first encountered wall.
Atomic bombs explode depending the user powder level.
But explosions are not stopped by walls (only by hard walls).
It's a very powerfull bomb : it's why the game is named ATOMIC BOMBERS.

Explosion are propagated from bombs to bombs (same for mines) depending
of the power of the first explosion.

To increase the power of a bomb, just get some more .
