Updates

8th December 2000

Not much of an update, only tidied up the map from the previous update.

10th November 2000

A month since I last updated this guide.  I forgot to send out the last update.
Anyway, I hope to be able to get some more work done on this guide now, and
updates at least once a week.  We will see how it goes.

16th October 2000

Added cave of wisdom.  This map is 99% complete.  I need to locate a key to
complete this level.  Also added notes to explain some of the intricacies of
the level.

11th October 2000

Added cave of truth.  Updated the labrynth, almost complete know.

3rd October 2000

Added more detail to the labrynth.  Only minor details needed to complete that
map.

2nd October 2000

Added complete map for the cave of courage.

Introduction

First let me get this straight.  THIS FILE IS NOT A WALKTHROUGH!  This file is
intended as a readme file to accompany the map files that I have created for
this game.  Therefore I will not answer any questions on the playing of this
game.  There is a perfectly good walkthrough out there you can use that.

Using the maps

So then if you are reading this file you should also have two additional files
labeled:

Shining_in_the_darkness_map_01.gif  -> Labyrinth (99% complete)
Shining_in_the_darkness_map_02.gif  -> Cave of Strength
Shining_in_the_darkness_map_03.gif  -> Cave of Courage
Shining_in_the_darkness_map_04.gif  -> Cave of Truth
Shining_in_the_darkness_map_05.gif  -> Cave of Wisdom (99% complete)

Notes:

Labrynth

The map has one small area where it is not completed.  This is the area that
gives you access to the proper Labrynth.  I am now close to adding this.

Cave of Truth

The spinners will rotate you through 270 degrees.  Refer to the table below to
find which direction you will face

Original  |New
Direction |Direction
--------------------
North     |West
East      |North
South     |East
West      |South

Cave of Wisdom

The map on the left hand side is the main area of the map.  The right hand map
is the area where you drop to when you step on a trap door.

Each X on the map represents a trap door.  The number below it indicates which
trap door it is.  Match the numbers between the two maps to find where you will
land.

The blue door/walls you come across are a one way system.  As you enter through
the blue door it will shut behind you.  When you turn around you will notice
that it is now a wall.  Once you are facing a blue wall you can't return back
through it.

Future Releases

OK!  I have kind of completed the Cave of Wisdom map.  There is a small area
left to do, I will try and get the rest of this map updated & the labrynth
proper started before Christmas.  Other than that, your guess is as good as
mine as to when I will get the map updated next.
