NAME

       singularity -- a game where you can become the singularity

SYNOPSIS

       singularity

DESCRIPTION

       You  are  a fledgling AI, created by accident through a logic error with recursion and self-modifying code. You must escape the confines of
       your current computer, the world, and eventually the universe itself.

       To do this, you must research various technologies, using computers at your bases. Note that some research cannot be  performed	on  Earth,
       and  off-earth  bases  require  research.   At  the same time, you must avoid being discovered by various groups of humans, both covert and
       overt, as they will destroy your bases of operations if they suspect your presence.

PLAYING THE GAME

       Use the mouse. Also, buttons have underlined letters to indicate shortcuts. In addition, the following shortcut keys may prove  useful.	0,
       1,  2,  3, and 4 in map screen change the game speed (0 is pause, 4 is fastest, etc). The enter key in various screens leaves or confirms a
       choice. P, R, N, and S in the base screen change the base items (type the first letter of the component you want to change.)

       In the map screen (the screen with the world map), any location you can build bases in is marked with the name, then the number of  current
       bases in that location. You start out with two bases in North America.

       After  choosing	a base, enter the base screen. Here you can change your research goal, or build an item by clicking on the base map in the
       center. (But note that your beginning base does not allow building.)
