: Hi gang...
: I've NEVER played any type of game on the computer before. After watching TechTV, I downloaded DINK. It looks like fun.
: I flipped around through FAQs and Hints, and I fear that my question is so very BASIC, that it's not even addressed.
: Using one's KEYBOARD, how do you "interact" with objects? I've gotten as far as the pigpen, see the feed on the ground, but have no idea how to pick it up?
: I can't even feed the flippin' pigs! I'm stuck already, with no teenager or pro to help me. Any feedback other than, "Give it up!"?
: Thanks in advance.
First of all, welcome and you are going to love this game. Now, to feed the pigs go back to moms house and walk over sack of pig food. Some message like "you now have pig food" will appear.
Pressing enter shows your inventory, arrow keys scroll it, control arms. Space is talk, shift is magic and control is use (kick, hit, shoot...). Got to pig pen press enter, scroll to pig feed, press control to feed pigs. Don't forget to rearm fist. These are the basics for the game. Other things to know are: when fighting hit and retreat is this best tactic, some large rocks can be pushed, save often at save machines (you will see one soon, and talk to everyone, and whenever something changes, such as completeing a task, talk to everyone again. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
