The Game!

You're An alien Spaceship and you use your Hyper Beam to collect and transport the items from earth to your ship.

There are 4 levels (It's a really small game, I know!-heh) Each level has a time limit in which you have to collect all the chosen items(The computer randomly chooses one of the three items you have to collect).
If you fail to collect the chosen Items its Game over for you!!
Each time you play a level the items are randomly spread across the level, some items appearing more then others, the item you must collect is also randomly chosen.
So each time you play the game its a little different sometimes being harder and sometimes being easier.

Changing the Game

Okay there a few things you can do to the game if your experiencing problems with it or you find it to easy or hard or if you just want to alter it -heh 
(*Note* changing the settings isn't exactly the most user friendly process!)

When playing the game the Hyper Beam cursor controlled by the keyboard is supposed to move slightly fast as to create a little panic and frustration while playing the game. However if you find it moves to fast or if is possibly moves to slow you can adjust its speed.

To do this you must open up the file WaitVr.txt in Notepad.exe. Once you have opened this up you will find the number 2, which is the current game speed the game is set at, the game speed value can range between 0 and 32001 if you wish to make the game speed run faster decrease the number, or if you wish to slow the game down increase the number.

Once you have altered, the file save it and run the game. This process is really trial and error so to find your correct game speed your going to probably have to repeat the above process a couple of times until you find the right speed.

So now if you Experience any problems or you find the game to easy or hard just change the speed setting =P

If you wish to edit the game, however the process is a little different!
By editing the game, you can alter the 4 levels and make your own and you can also change the required time for each level. To do this I have included the editor I used to make the levels for the game. However, before you can start editing the level with the editor you have to alter some data in the level vie Notepad.exe. What you have to do before you can open the level in the editor is simple, once you have opened up the file in notepad you will see a long column This is all level data. The first number in the column is the levels time limit the other numbers are just the levels design data, or we need to focus on is the first number, the levels time limit, this number is put in after the level is designed and there for is unrecognized by the level editor, So if you want to edit the level you will have to take the first number out save the file and then open it with the editor and when you are finished making the level via the editor, save it, exit the editor open the file up in notepad and add the a time for the level. And then run the game!!
That's all there is to it! I Hope this makes Sense =P

The editor is really just included for you so that you can edit the game not make extra levels for it.(I should have added the feature -heh)
