* Play Information *

Game                    : DOOM2
Map #                   : Map01
Single Player           : Designed for
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : No. Well, Nym actually is a two player game, and
  you are playing against your computer controlled marine. ;-)
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : No
Other game styles       : See rules bellow!
Difficulty Settings     : Yes. But Nightmare isn't supported, and the game
  will neither work with respawn nor with nomonsters. Also the skill level
  doesn't affect the actual Nym game, except that the demons won't hurt you
  at skill 1.

Jumping is required.
Saving during the Nym game is considered cheating, but allowed elsewhere.

Cheating                : If you're a newby and the cyberdemon scares you, on
  skill level 1, you can jump over the switch in the arena to telefrag the
  cyberdemon, though you still need the key you get by beating the Nym game
  in order to do this.
  Of course, for the real challange, cheating is absolutely not recommend, so
  don't do the following if you seriously want to play this!
  - At your turn, you can noclip to the other boxes and kill demons there as
  well. The game will count them correctly. Don't try this at the marine's
  turn, or the scripts will be messed up.
  - Saving during the Nym game is considered cheating.
  - IDKFA will not give you all the keys required, though it's not hard to 
  just pick them up after you BFG'ed the cyberdemon. (There is no BFG in the
  map, though.)

* Construction *

Base                    : New from scratch
Build Time              : About a week.
Editor(s) used          : WinZeth for some besic structures.
                          Doombuilder for most of the map and the scripting
                          Deutex for merging all together
                          ZDBSP for the nodes
                          Zennode for reject
Known Bugs              : There are some glitches including HOM in ZDoomgl. I
  recommend playing this with the software renderer.

* The rules *

  This map is basically a regular single player one, but it features a game
  of its own as part of it, known as "Nym".
How to play             : The Rules are simple. It is a turn based game.
  Whenever it's your turn, choose between the boxes with demons in it, and
  kill as much of them as you desire, though you must kill at least one of
  them! Then hit one of those switches which appear between the boxes to let
  the scripted marine make his turn!
The objective           : Simply don't kill the last demon! You must force
  the marine you're playing against to do this. Once he killed the last demon,
  he dies and leaves his key behind. Also the doors will open and you can
  pick up all the goodies on the other side.
Some hint               : Keep in mind, that your advantage is that you can
  choose wether you want to make the first turn or not. It's simply a matter
  of open a door or hitting a switch first.
