                DESCR.TXT for Python, now a DOOM Master
                ---------------------------------------
                exam completed on 1994 05 27 (Friday)




Controls used
-------------

Keyboard and mouse.  I had trouble because I've always had my
configuration using the 'Q' key, but hitting 'Q' during play ends
the recording session, so I had to re-setup everything.  This is
one part of the reason some of the .lmps are a little sloppy - I
know I lucked out big time as far as which levels I had to do for
the exam.  I have some .lmps were I did a better job, but I've
included the files I made at my first attempt.  I thought they looked
more natural and less calculated - better representative of the way
I like to play.  Besides, we've all seen tons of demos where people
complete levels without getting touched once.  It gets boring after
a while, so I just went with what I've got.  If I ever finish the DGM
exam, I'll do those .lmps with a more practice.  I'll have to. :)

System used
-----------

        JPC 486/50 with 12" display and 8MB of RAM.


What's good in FREE.LMP
-----------------------

This isn't anything special - I'm just more proud of some of the levels
I'm working on than I am of my playing style (I used to be a Dungeon
Master for an AD&D group back home, I guess I still am at heart - Ahhh,
those were the days).  Anyways, I'm working on a whole episode and this
is the level that's closest to completion.  It's very playable as is,
and I'd like to get some feedback without it getting distributed like
crazy all over the place.  Anyways, unless you use cheat keys, watch my
.lmp demo of it before you try it - I show some secrets you'll need
to know if you want to be able to get anywhere, and yeah, I know, this
looks tough, but I can do it in 35-40 minutes.  I was just messing around
in my demo to intro you to the level without giving everything away.  :)
I think maybe I need to add more ammo around though.  Anyways, I'd
appreciate any comments sent to:

    allend@wlsunlab.queensu.ca  (good 'til the end of the summer)

Comments

Like I said, I had a pretty easy exam this time around.  I actually
considered using a substitution to make my exam *HARDER*, but I didn't
think of it 'til I was done and I'm a lazy beast.  Also, like I said,
I can do all these easy levels with a little more finesse, but I think
it's boring to watch an .lmp where you never fall below 95% health,
so I instead included the first .lmp I made for each level.  If you
*really* need to see another finesse lmp batch email me and we'll arrange
something.  I guess I can only hope I draw the same levels for my DGM
test, but I have trouble just doing E1M1 in Nightmare.  I think I agree
with Thomas Naugton - DGAK sounds easier to me than DGM.  I guess we'll
just have to wait and see.
