So, having admired pretty zastavochkoy with a proud inscription 
3D CONSTRUCTION KIT, you get to the rich

choice of management tools:


  KEMPSTON JOYSTICK

  SINCLAIR JOYSTICK

  CURSOR KEYS

That, accordingly, is translated as:


  Kempston JOYSTICK

  SINCLAIR JOYSTICK

  Cursor keys

 Poking in your favorite button (DO NOT RESET!), You vyvaletes

 Regrettably who diskoversi roval 3D did not care about the

Thank you though, because in general  we are working with the 
disc.

All of the above for the upper strings. Now move the eye in the

interesting. 

 On the left are two (2) windows:


  VIEW (angle of view on the picture)

NORTH [north], SOUTH [south], WEST [with
west], EAST [east] and PLAN [top])


  MODE (type of movement: FLY1,

FLY2 [flights] and WALK [walking on foot])

 Located in the center will control your position in the 
location. Think here and everything is clear.


 Now consider the inscription at the bottom
screen.


  GLOBAL. Obscenity, which allows no
extra works to create walls and ceiling.


  COPY. The most terrible curse. creates
Another object of those that already exist.


  CREATE. Clicking on this icon, you will fall in the creation 
menu items, which can create:



 EXIT! - Just go back to CREAT'u
 SENSR - When selecting this option on the screen
point appears, spitting in a player laser.
 RECT - Rectangle.
 PYRMD - a truncated pyramid.
 CUBE - cube.
 LINE - the line segment.
 TRI. - Triangle.
 QUAD. - Square.
 PENT. - Pentagon:)
 HEX. - Hexagon.


 EDIT. Choosing this option will be (with
Use the arrow keys) to move the selected object (MOVE), stretch 
it into three dimensions (STRETCH) pull the same information in 
five izmeteniyah (SHRINK), rotate at all as

anything (TURN), and seems to be even mutilate
in every (move vertices) (POINT).
. LOAD, RESRT and SAVE duplicate similar teams top line.

  SHADE. Shadow. Allows you to change the fill
walls of the subject.

 Well, like with all the menus. Now
it would be good with the language to understand. Who wants to 
do it myself, or someone does not like the proposed version, 
can safely to reap the "magic button" and typing DUMp

# E850, personally acquainted with the dictionary. AND
if he finds anything, lost me
let them tell me about it through the magazine
(Beg).

 Larry 3DCK make available to the programmer 255 flags (that is 
to say variables) that are produced and

almost all operations. In further consideration:
 = Number
 = Flag
 = Number of subject
 = Number of locations
 = Number of messages

 SETV ab - Set the flag value of b a.
 For example: SETV 001,002 record
 the second variable to 1.
- ADDV ab - add to the value of the flag b
 number as well. Works with three time series (0-255)
- ADCV ab - add to the value of the flag b
 number as well. Works with five times the series (0-9).
 SUBV and b - Subtract from the flag and the number of b

   Works with a byte (0-255)
 SBCV ab - Subtract from the flag and the number of b
 Works with 5 digits.

 WARNING! These arithmetic operations
somehow spoil the values stored in
nearest lower the flag. Can I have
version is buggy?


  ORV ab is just a logical OR operation
 ANDV a b AND

   XORV a b XOR

 CMPV ab - Compare the value of the flag with b
 number and
 IFEQ - If they are equal. (Condition)
 IFGT - If greater.
 IFLT - If the less.
 THEN - Then (the word after all conditions are satisfied.)
 ELSE - Otherwise (the branching
 in the subject.)
 AND] - AND, OR, for testing several
 OR] conditions.

 IFSHOT c - If you were getting into the subject
 with the number of.
 IFHIT - If the hero was a hit.
 IFCRUSH - If the hero has fallen from a height
 greater than that specified in the GE NERALSETUPFALL ABILITY.
 IFVIS c - If the object is to be seen.
 IFTIMER - If the timer.
 IFACTIVE with - If the object is activated

  (The condition occurs in the game application [file 0] 
location  with the computer. )

 ENDIF - Mandatory word at the end of condition.
 VIS c - Make the subject with a visible
 INVIS c - Make an invisible object.
 DESTROY c - Destroy the object with.
 GOTO de - Moving from location to location d e.
 MODE a - Type of vision. Programming analogue

   windows MODE main menu.
 SETWPOS af - Position game window.
 SETWSIZE af - Size of the game screen.
 COLOUR af - Change the color of the location.
 - That the dye (001 - Wall
 003 - border), a-color.
 SOUND a - A single sound such as "Tu".
/ SYNCSND a - sound with increasing frequency
 and amplitude.
 DELAY a - delay. Analog PAUSE in
 BASIC.
 TEXTCOL a - text color.
 PRINT afz - Printing messages z
 REDRAW - redraw the screen.
 CALL a - a procedure call.
 END - Mandatory word at the end of each
 module. Put automatically
 its creation (CREAT).


  Well, that's like and all I wanted you
tell. And if I had missed, then please
excuse me, because it is not by design, the villainous, but 
merely for its dullness and ignorance. 

For sim bid you farewell.
 Your G-G.
