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
Game
Menu
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
Game
Menu
to play.
Alternatively during game play, the player can press the
Game
Menu
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.
