Some Tricks & Tips

• First of all: Make a Backup Copy of your Egg Disk. I did it to my HD. Then what ever happen to my first 6 Eggs, I can rebuild a brand new disk.
• Second: when starting education, manage one creature at a time.
• Feeding Norns: (grabbed on comp.ai.games) Try naming the food generically. i.e., when the creature looks at honey say 'food', then repeat for carrot & cheese etc. Then take the creature to the learning machine and teach it 'push'. If you then say 'push food' it will hopefully eat something.
• On the Eggs disk each directory contains two files (suffix .gen) they follow the same structure. Thus 12 .gen makes 144 eggs (under the assumption of 12 different files).
• Grendels are worth to study. And you can have a look on the Grendel Guide written in good english by Rob Sedgebeer (aka Frogger).
• Hybrids looking like Norns can have natural eggs.
• It happens that: Importation kills your creature. You can bypass this (bug) with a) a spare copy of your .exp b) your file on a floppy write protected.
• Creatures is a game and thus there does exist "Cheat Code". Have a look on some of the "Unofficial sites".
