With door shuffle + on, the doors become items and only open up once you receive the corresponding item. The panel sets that would + ordinarily open the doors become locations. + +* **Color shuffle**: There are ten different colors of puzzle in the game, each representing a different mechanic. With + color shuffle on, you would start with only access to white puzzles. Puzzles of other colors will require you to + receive an item in order to solve them (e.g. you can't solve any red puzzles until you receive the "Red" item). + +* **Panel shuffle**: Panel shuffling replaces the puzzles on each panel with different ones. So far, the only mode of + panel shuffling is "rearrange" mode, which simply shuffles the already-existing puzzles from the base game onto + different panels. + +* **Painting shuffle**: This randomizes the appearance of the paintings in the game, as well as which of them are warps, + and the locations that they warp you to. It is the equivalent of an entrance randomizer in another game. + +## What is a "check" in this game? + +Most panels / panel sets that open a door are now location checks, even if door shuffle is not enabled. Various other +puzzles are also location checks, including the achievement panels for each area. + +## What about wall snipes? + +"Wall sniping" refers to the fact that you are able to solve puzzles on the other side of opaque walls. This randomizer +does not change how wall snipes work, but it will never require the use of them. There are three puzzles from the base +game that you would ordinarily be expected to wall snipe. The randomizer moves these panels out of the wall or otherwise +reveals them so that a snipe is not necessary. + +Because of this, all wall snipes are considered out of logic. This includes sniping The Bearer's MIDDLE while standing +outside The Bold, sniping The Colorful without opening all of the color doors, and sniping WELCOME from next to WELCOME +BACK. diff --git a/docs/setup_en.md b/docs/setup_en.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..97f3ce5 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/setup_en.md @@ -0,0 +1,45 @@ +# Lingo Randomizer Setup + +## Required Software + +- [Lingo](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1814170/Lingo/) +- [Lingo Archipelago Randomizer](https://code.fourisland.com/lingo-archipelago/about/CHANGELOG.md) + +## Optional Software + +- [Archipelago Text Client](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases) +- [Lingo AP Tracker](https://code.fourisland.com/lingo-ap-tracker/about/CHANGELOG.md) + +## Installation + +1.

You +do not have to re-select Archipelago in the level selection screen if you were +using Archipelago the last time you launched the game. + +In order to play the base game again, simply return to the level selection +screen and choose Level 1 (or whatever else you want to play). The randomizer +will not affect gameplay unless you launch it by starting a new game while it is +selected in the level selection screen, so it is safe to play the game normally +while the client is installed. + +**Note**: Running the randomizer modifies the game's memory. If you want to play +the base game after playing the randomizer, you need to restart Lingo first. -- cgit 1.4.1
