Seron is holding a projectile contest this month, which has
caused some real excitement among us projectile throwers. In preparation for
the tournament -- and to encourage people to take part in this really fun Whyville-only
activity -- I'm here to tell you all about the hows and whosits of projectiles!
First things first. You have to buy projectiles and the Projectile Shoppe. I
would recommend for beginners to use 1 clams projectiles so you can get a hang
of things.
There are two ways to throw projectiles. One way is saying "throw (projectile)
(name of person)." So if my friend were to throw a wink at me, it would
be "throw wink lexy32600."
But for the projectile fight this month, that method of throwing
projectiles is not allowed. That's too easy. And so, we will use the second
way. Say "throw (projectile) (degree)." Say you were to the right
of me, lexy32604. Then you would say "throw wink 180."
If you're not familiar with degrees, here's a list of them
and what direction saying them will go:
0 : right
50 : diagonal up right
90 : up
120 : diagonal up left
180 : left
-120 : diagonal down left
-90 : down
-50 : diagonal down right
With some practice, you will soon memorize these easily. Knowing 0, 90, 180
and -90 is most helpful. But if you wanna try the diagonals, very good for you!
Here's how to remember how the diagonals work: 50's go left,
120's go right, and positive goes up while negatives go down.
You can try practicing in the Zero Gravity Chamber if you like.
Practice will help you type faster, and doing it in the Chamber also helps you
increase your salary!
I've taught many people how to use projectiles and I wanted
to share my knowledge with you for a good cause. Good luck trying to get those
500 clams at Seron's competition! :-)
