CONTROLS
Dune is played using a point and click system which allows the player to move through the game, perform
actions and interact with other characters without doing any typing. We recommend that you use the mouse
but Keyboard or Joystick can also be used. The game screen is divided into a Main Screen and a Control Panel
(described later). To interact with characters who appear in the main screen, or issue commands shown on
the Control Panel just use the mouse to point at the character/command, then click with the left mouse button.
In certain situations clicking the right mouse button will also bring up further information.
The keyboard option allows you to use the keys from the Numeric Keypad or the Arrow (Cursor) Keys to flip
through the available icons/options. To select and option press SPACE or RETURN. Additionally CTRL + Arrow
Keys allows the cursor to be positioned anywhere on the screen. The Joystick option performs identically to
the Mouse.
THE MAIN SCREEN
The game is played through the eyes of Paul Atreides. The top three quarters of the screen is the Main Screen
is the Main Screen and shows the currant location and any characters present there. It is mainly just a depiction
of the location, with all controls provided in the Main Control Panel at the bottom of the screen. However, by
pointing at a character shown in the window and clicking with the left mouse button, you can choose to
interact with them and the options shown in the Main Control Panel will change to those that are available to
you. (At various times you can ask characters to "Talk to me", "Come with me" and "Work for me)."
