1) PRESENTATION

YULD is a game into that you have to catch blue balls (called "tournicotis") avoiding the differents obstacles (red enemies, spike balls) before going to the "END" to finish the level. This game contains 19 levels with a progressive difficulty


2) CONTROLS

There are fairly basic:

Arrow keys...........Move
Enter.....................Validate (in the menus)
Space.....................Pause


3) HOW TO PLAY ?

Don't be anxious, all is explained during the game, sometimes a cut-screen will appear between two levels to give you a password and useful informations. You have just to type this password into the "Password" heading at the main menu.
The letters E, D, I, T, O and R are distributed in the levels 1 to 14, they allow you to unlock the leevl editor. If you haven't caught all letters you can nevertheless play to an external level maked by other people. If you finish the game you will recieve some passwords to replay any level you want and do other things like increasing the difficulty of the game, being invincible...
Finish the game is not the only aim, you have also to make the best score:
 -A purple marble gives 1 point
 -A tournicoti gives 3 points (except in the level 14 where it pay 1)
 -Each time you finish a level you have 20 bonus points
If you begin directly at the level 7 using a password, your score will start at 0... That would not happend if you started the game at the first level, it's why using password don't help making huge scores.

Good luck !


4) LEVEL EDITOR

Left click => Create an object
Right click => Erase
You can maintain the click down to create/erase rapidly a lot of objects
The 2 buttons with 1 arrow show the 2nd list of objects
The 2 buttons with 2 arrows are used to scroll the window, when your level is bigger than the screen width (you can also push the left/right arrow keys).
To change the background select it in the list or use the up/down arrow keys.

The Config button shows a lot of customizable things, they are easy to understand but I give some informations about customized musics:
To play customized (external) musics, in the config menu select the "Custom..." line, and type in the field the music filetype you use (wav, ogg, it, mod, s3m etc... WITHOUT THE POINT, DON'T TYPE ".WAV" !!). To listen to it, you must have beforehand saved you level or opened one. The music must have the name of your level
EXAMPLE: You level is named abcd.ykd => the music will be named: abcd.wav (or abcd.ogg, abcd.it, you have understand !).
Of course, the music have to be in the same directory as your level, if not the program will not find it
