PEEPER
from ZX Computing, August/September 1983

Someone's watching you! A paranoid program from David Wilkins
of Liphook in Hampshire.

In this game for your 16K ZX81, you are looking up at a four storey building.
On each floor, there are five windows ... and someone keeps looking out of
them at you.

From your vantage point, you have a good view of the windows and whenever a
face appears at one of the windows, you have the opportunity to fire a shot
at it before it disappears.

Going stare crazy
A total of thirty heads could look at you, although the window they will
choose will be random each time. When a face appears at a window, you must
position your character directly underneath using the '5' key to go left and
the '8' key to go right. Then you can fire at the face; to fire a shot at a
head on the first floor, press the '1' key, for a shot at the second floor
press the '2' key, and so on.

Each time you hit a head, you score a total of 200 points. However, firing at
higher level floors uses up more energy than firing at the lower floors; a
first floor shot will cost you 10 points, a second floor shot will count for
25 points. 50 points for a third floor shot and 100 points for a shot at a
head on the fourth floor.

You start off the game with 1,000 points, but youll soon find that a few
missed shots at the fourth floor will soon deplete your score. The game ends
after 30 heads have appeared at the window or if you run out of points.

The game also includes a high score feature and instructions for the game's
operation are included within the program.
