Introduction
This is a jumble of one-liners, as most people call it. It’s short so you can lesurely type it in.

How to Play
After entering RUN, you’ll be given a “Choose your game” prompt, at which point you may choose your desired game from 1-3.
Game 1 – Onward!
Begin by entering a speed (around 100 should be good). The thing coming from the left is you, and you can make it jump 1 character with the space key, or 3 characters with the right cursor key. You may use both freely in order to keep advancing without hitting the obstacles. There are 10 stages total.
Game 2 – Squash
This is a common game. Move the racket with the left and right cursor keys and make the ball bounce. The game ends if you let the ball drop even once.
Game 3 – Diamond Snake
An irregular snake game. Start by entering the level (nº of obstacles). The up cursor key makes the snake go diagonally left and up, right makes it go right and down, up and right simultaneously makes it go right and up, and not pressing anything makes it go left and down; dodge the obstacles.

Conclusion
Games 2 and 3 show you their score on game over.
Also, program lines 2, 4 and 6 correspond to games 1, 2 and 3 respectively. If you’re having trouble typing it all in, just pick the game you want to play and type it in by itself.
