Task

====

To survive standing in a 10x10 room with an infected person moving around the room.


Game Instructions

=================

When the game begins, you see an empty 10x10 room and will be prompted to enter the X and Y coordinates where you wish to stand.

After entering the two digits from 0 to 9, you will be displayed on the screen as the letter "I".

However, someone else is also in the room that is infected who will be randomly stand somewhere in the room, which will be displayed as a green "O".

The infection will spread one grid-cell surrounding the infected person, and will also turn green. 

If you stand where the person is or in one of the green grid-cell you will become infected and the game is over.

If you are outside the distance of the infection, you score 1 point and play continue with in a new room with different infected co-ordinates.


Control

=======

Keyboard by entering digits 0 to 9.


Game Requirements

==================

- Commodore 64 using BASIC 2.0

or

- VICE or CCS64 Emulator
