NEW - Added post-compo entry which features run-time terrain modifications, so that holes are visible after excavation.
Welcome to Archaeology!
Here are the details of playing the game.
First select a surveyor to find good locations for treasure. If treasure is found nearby, the ground will be highlighted with a certain color:
White - no treasure near
Blue - little treasure
Green - moderate treasure
Yellow/Red - lots of treasure
Once you find a good location for treasure, assign an excavator to that area. If the excavator successfully digs up treasure, it will be shown in the world. Then assign an appraiser, who will determine the value of the treasure and add it to your total money.
Repeat until you've found all of the treasure, but you have only until 7pm before the game is over.
