Locate buried relics at ten sites using your last measured bearing and distance band. Readings do not update automatically when you move: choose survey locations that narrow the possibilities.
WASD moves, X surveys, and RETURN digs. Moving costs 1 supply and surveying costs 2. Your initial survey is free, with up to four additional surveys. You can miss twice; the third empty dig fails the attempt.
Directions work on the keyboard or pad; the pad button also acts as RETURN. SPACE opens confirmation to restart this stage. NO is selected initially. Choose with A/D, confirm with RETURN, or cancel with SPACE. Play pauses during confirmation. CTRL+C returns to BASIC.
A survey expands through three rings. Walking passes through intermediate positions; digging creates a hole, and discovery has light and sound. Previous survey locations remain marked. Wait for the animation to finish before pressing again.
BEARING shows N/S/W/E. NEAR means distance 0–2, MID 3–5, and FAR 6 or more. Distance is the sum of horizontal and vertical steps. FROM records the survey's column and row; SURVEYS is remaining surveys, STEPS is supply, and DIGS is digs available.
