72 The

74 control keys.

99 You can type these while in the game <BR>
100 jetpack - you can fly <BR>
101 pogostick - the bunnies keep jumping <BR>
102 bunniesinspace - gravity is lower, you can jump higher <BR>
103 lordoftheflies - the flies are attracted <BR>
104 bloodisthickerthanwater - water turns to blood
105 <H2><A NAME="sect6" HREF="#toc6">Levels</A></H2>
106 There are two programs
107 to help you make your own levels: jnbpack and jnbunpack. <P>
108 jnbpack -o /tmp/newlevel.dat
109 &lt;file1&gt; &lt;file2&gt; &lt;file3&gt; etc <P>
110 or you can just put all the files in a dir, cd to
111 that dir and do <P>
112 jnbpack -o /tmp/newlevel.dat * <P>
113 and it will put all the files
114 in the current dir inside the packfile. Don't try things like jnbpack -o stuff.dat
115 ../file.c because it will add "../file.c" as the filename in the packfile, which
116 won't work. <P>
117 jnbunpack level.dat <BR>
118 will unpack it in the current directory. <P>
119 With gobpack you can convert .gob
120 files (which are sprites, described in gob.txt) into .pcx files which you
121 can edit with gimp for example, then convert back to a .gob and use it in
122 your own level. <P>
123 gobpack -u font menu.pcx <P>
124 will unpack font.gob using the color
125 palette from menu.pcx and write the files font.pcx font.txt. The other gob
126 files should use level.pcx for the correct palette. <P>
127 gobpack font <P>
128 will generate
129 font.gob from font.pcx and the specifications in font.txt. The .pcx files should
130 be resaved with another program, as they are not packed and are thus very
131 large.
