Secret Codes

+You can type these while in the game
+jetpack - you can fly
+pogostick - the bunnies keep jumping
+bunniesinspace - gravity is lower, you can jump higher
+lordoftheflies - the flies are attracted
+bloodisthickerthanwater - water turns to blood +

Levels

+There are two programs +to help you make your own levels: jnbpack and jnbunpack.

+jnbpack -o /tmp/newlevel.dat +<file1> <file2> <file3> etc

+or you can just put all the files in a dir, cd to +that dir and do

+jnbpack -o /tmp/newlevel.dat *

+and it will put all the files +in the current dir inside the packfile. Don't try things like jnbpack -o stuff.dat +../file.c because it will add "../file.c" as the filename in the packfile, which +won't work.

+jnbunpack level.dat
+will unpack it in the current directory.

+With gobpack you can convert .gob +files (which are sprites, described in gob.txt) into .pcx files which you +can edit with gimp for example, then convert back to a .gob and use it in +your own level.

+gobpack -u font menu.pcx

+will unpack font.gob using the color +palette from menu.pcx and write the files font.pcx font.txt. The other gob +files should use level.pcx for the correct palette.

+gobpack font

+will generate +font.gob from font.pcx and the specifications in font.txt. The .pcx files should +be resaved with another program, as they are not packed and are thus very +large. +
