ROLF

HOW TO ROLF

Rolf is a state of the art machine equipped with the infinite potential of the LOOP DRIVE.

You must use the LOOP DRIVE to build commands into Rolf's program, which he will then repeat in sequence in order to do your bidding.

Monitor Rolf's Progress: The Lab's camera feed gives you a bird's eye view of how Rolf is doing. 

You can use the arrow keys (or WASD) on your keyboard to see a little further out.

Command Chips: Use these to program Rolf! Simply select them using your mouse and drag them over to the Register. Let go of the mouse when the chip is above a slot to insert it! 

You draw 7 command chips at random each time you need to enter a program. More information on the different command chips can be found below.

The Register: Insert command chips into the slots to configure the LOOP DRIVE. Rolf will perform the commands in sequence. He will loop (teehee) through the sequence forever!

Initiate The Program: Once you have configured the LOOP DRIVE, push the GO! button using your mouse! Note that all four slots must be filled before you can proceed.

Reach Your Objective: Check where you are relative to the goal any time using the compass at the top left of the screen!

Hazards Cause Errors: Issues such as bumping into objects or redundant loops (loops that cause nothing to happen) disrupt Rolf's system integrity.

If Rolf has three or more errors by the end of a loop, the program will break and a new one will need to be registered.

Certain hazards, such as falling into the river or launching on top of buildings, will cause Rolf's program to break immediately and send him back to the beginning of the most recent loop.

Use the lights on the left side of the Register to keep track of how many errors Rolf has. Using errors tactically is key to mastering the LOOP DRIVE.

Aim For A LOW Score: Once you reach the goal, your score is calculated by multiplying how many program loops Rolf has started by the number of programs you have entered. You can check your current score underneath the compass.

Can you get fewer than 200 points?

CHIP TYPES:

	CARDINAL DIRECTIONS - Rolf moves ONE UNIT in the direction shown.
	STANDBY - Rolf does nothing.
	CANNON - Rolf fires a plasma cannon blast in the direction he is facing. - Blasts will destroy most objects they come in contact with. - Recoil pushes Rolf ONE UNIT backwards. - Being pushed into an object will cause an error.
	LAUNCH - Engage Rolf's thrusters to charge ahead! - Rolf moves TWO UNITS in the direction he is facing. - Can be used to jump over obstacles. - Landing on an object will destroy it, but also cause an error. - Landing on a building will break Rolf's program.
