Game Rules and Selection

Game Selection

There are 7 categories in the Darth Vader Laptop: Word, Mathematics, Memory, Logic, Typing, Music and Fun.

The main category selection menu will scroll to the next category every 2 seconds. Use the lightsaber or the left and

right arrow keys to scroll to the next category and press to select. All the games under a category are listed in the game selection menu. The player can use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the activity names and

press to play.

Alternatively during game play, the player can press the

GameMenu button to go back to the game categories. Every 15

seconds if the player is idle, Obi-Wan will say “Use the lightsaber or the arrow keys to select a category” .

Attempts

In most activities the player will have three attempts per question. Star Wars characters will reveal the correct answer after three incorrect attempts.

If there is no input after 30 seconds, instruction prompts will be repeated.

Levels

Some of the activities have different levels. At the end of each round (consisting of ten questions) a summary score screen will be shown so the player can see how well they have done. If the player has 80 (except a score of 50 in Word-Word Blast) or more points they will go up a level. A score between 50 to 79 will mean repeating the same level. A score of 49 or less (except a score of 9 in Word-Word Blast) will mean going down a level. If the player has successfully completed all levels in an activity, the screen will go back to the selection menu of that category. In some of the games with no levels, after the player has completed a round of questions, the screen will also go back to the selection menu of that category.

Time Limit

For most games, the player has one minute to answer each question.
