***>			 	Playing a game

No1 can be told what THIS game is... You have to play it for yourself...


You control the worm. Pick up + to grow. Take other stuff.
There are some stuphph, that makes a little glitches like rotating
the screen, doing waves. :)  They make game harder to play (and fun!=)

Each player has up to 99 lives to waste. You cn get more lives if you grow
too long.
You die, when your worm's 'head' touches with another worm or your own 'body'.
