Java Game
Welcome to the small JAVA game "Digger".
All the graphics have been done with pro motion. I'm just
a programmer and not a good pixel artist, so please don't judge
too hard about my drawing abilities. You will find the game instructions
below the applet screen.
Instructions
The mission in this game is to dig for diamonds. It's not as simple
as it seems to be. In each room you will have to collect a certain
amount of diamonds within a given time. You will have to beware
of enemies and falling rocks and you will sometimes have to "create"
diamonds from ordinary stones (rocks) or to blow up walls.
Control
To start playing click with your mouse on the game screen. Hit space
to start the first level. The "get ready" screen must
be acknowledged by pressing the space bar again. Always hit space
to continue if a level is finished or if you lost a live. Now you
can control the game hero 
using the cursor keys.
Game elements
On the game screen you will find different items having the following
meanings...
 The diamonds you
have to collect
 This is the level
exit. As soon as you have enough diamonds collected, the door
opens and you can escape to the next room.
 These are the enemies
you have to beware of. They are always moving straight on until
they bump against somethig. Then they turn to the right and go
on moving. An enemy can be killed if a rock falls on it's head.
But be careful, because they will explode! With such explosions
you can destroy walls and other objects.
 These rocks
fall down if there is nothing below or if they are laying on other
rocks, diamonds or a wall. Also you can move them to left and
right by pushing long enough.
 This is a
changer wall. If a diamond falls through it, it will turn to a
rock and if a rock falls through it that it becomes a diamond.
A diamond or rock can only fall through this wall if there is
no soil below it!
 This is a solid
wall. That means it can not be destroyed.
 This
is a destroyable wall. If an enemy explodes just besides the wall,
then it will explode, too.
Status bar
The status of the game is always displayed at the bottom of the
screen and the informations from left to right are the score, the
room number, the time that you have left to collect the diamonds,
the number of diamonds you have to collect and the number of lives
you have left.
