Mouse Controls
The mouse is your direct interface to the world of Arena. You will use it to
define actions or choices while exploring the land. As you look at the screen,
you will notice that the mouse cursor can change into one of 10 cursors, either
an arrow, a sword, or an ‘X’. When the mouse is an arrow and the left mouse
button is depressed, you will walk in the direction designated by that arrow
cursor. The further towards the edge of your screen the arrow gets, the faster
you will walk. When the arrow is a sword, it is used to pick or click icons on
the walk around menu. When the arrow is an ‘X’, whatever is under the ‘X’
will be interacted with, depending upon what mode you are in. For further
explanations, see The ‘X’ below.
Jumping is accomplished by clicking the right mouse button while the left
mouse button is being depressed. If you are standing still at the time you will
jump straight up. If you are running you will do a running broad jump. The
distance you can jump is determined by your Strength, and the Speed at
which you were running. Since characters with a higher Speed rating can run
faster, they will also be able to jump farther.
