GAME INSTRUCTIONS
1) You are attempting to gain as much territory as possible within the white screen border. You are scored on a percentage basis. Totally filling the black area within the white border would score 100%, half the area would score 50%, etc.
...You gain territory by moving within the area. As you go, a white trail is left. This is your gained territory. Giant spiders roam about. Their first entrance onto the screen will always be aimed directly at you. If you should be contacted by one; the game is over and the score is announced along with an informal rating.
