Description

Restart

Use this if you are stuck - e.g. when you blocked yourself so you can't move anymore or you dropped balls you would have needed. If you move only one step in the wrong direction use undo instead!

Toyland keeps track of the numbers of restarts you need to finish a level. Although this is not yet shown in the statistics it will be in future versions. So you can not only compare your times / moves but can also find out who needs the fewest retries.

Undo

This can be used if you moved a step too far or in the wrong direction.

Level Information

This shows a dialog with the information on the current level. It has these items:

Pause

This one pauses the game until you press the button again.

Edit Mode

This one enters the edit mode where you can design your own levels. It is only active when you are in play mode.

Play Mode

This one enters the play mode. It is only active when you are in edit mode.

Options

Use this to open the options notebook:

Next Level

Go to the next level if you are allowed to. You are allowed to move to the next level, if you have finished the current level before and you are not in the final level of a mission (the final level is always level 12).

Previous Level

Go to the previous level if you are not in the first level of a set.

Login

Use this to change the current player or add another player. If your name is on the list simply click on the name in the listbox (you may also enter your name in the entryfield). If this is your first time in Toyland type your name in the entryfield and press the Add button.

Since there are no passwords for each player yet the Delete button does not work - to avoid accidents.

Select Puppet

Registered version only!

This is used to select the puppet you want to rescue. For each puppet you have to finish 12 levels and one final level - you might find secret levels as well.

Both - secret and final levels - are not yet available!

New Level

Create a new level. You can set the size of the playfield, select the world, give a name and password for the level as well as your name. However you will only be able to save the level in the registered version. See the description of the edit mode for more information.

Export Level

Registerd version only!

This is used to export a private level to a file.

You can change the name, author, and password of the level at this point - however you can't change the size or world of the level (of course!).

The files generated are flat ASCII (7-bit) - so you can easily send them via email. This gives you the opportunity to echange levels with other people on the internet - one good place would be the Toyland mailing list.

Later version will have a mission editor where you can combine your own (or your friends') levels to create rescue missions (12 levels make one rescue mission).

Import Level

Registerd version only!

This is used to import private levels. See Export for more information.
