Holes or Balls Being Everywhere State Hobbes

The State HOBBES

HOBBES is fun for the puppets who like ball games. Here they find balls, holes to put them in and arrows to slide. Since many balls have been stolen from this state certain rooms were closed with doors (but some keys lie around everywhere...). The greatest problem of this world are those little pools of water which are a result of holes in the roofs (which can be found in many gymnasiums).

Objects in HOBBES

Walls

Walls can not be passed, can not be crossed, will not disappear. Actually they are simply there to block your movement.

Doors

Doors can only be passed with a key - but since the government of HOBBES used the same lock on every door any key opens any door.

There are two type of doors - horizontal and vertical doors. They can only be passed in the right direction, i.e. either left or right (vertical doors) or up or down (horizontal doors).

Keys

Keys are used to open the doors. When you move to a place with a key you will pick it up if you aren't carrying one already. If you already have a key you can pick up other keys later. You can enter squares with keys in that case - but won't have more than one key at a time. Balls can not be moved to keys.

Arrows

Arrows can only be entered from the tail and will be left at the head - if there is no blocking object. If there is, you can leave them in any direction you desire. Balls can be pushed on arrows. They will move until they leave the arrow or are blocked. Keep track of the balls lying on arrows because the arrows are still active that means you can only enter the arrow from the tail. However if a ball is blocked on an arrow it can be pushed away (from the tail only) - e.g. if a ball is blocked on an arrow going from down to right you can push it up. Blocked balls will move away as soon as the blocking object disappears - e.g. if a ball is blocked by a key it will continue to move as soon as you take the key and leave the square.

Balls

Balls can be pushed to - and only to: You can only move one ball at a time.

Holes

Holes can not be entered - but you can drop a ball into a hole which makes it behave like an empty square. Only one ball per hole please.

Water

Water - well - puppets don't like water but they don't really refuse to cross it - however they will leave the square at once in the direction they are moving (if possible - if not they are so confused that they don't leave it in another direction even if possible so you will have to help T(r)oy decide in which direction to continue). Balls can not be pushed into water! That's weird but true.
