About this converter
Atari 1981 pays garden over bugs at the bottom and bugs over garden at the top. Mushroom blast at 1, poison blast at 1, regrow at 5, body at 10, head at 100, flea at 200, spider distant at 300, medium at 600, close at 900, Scorpion at 1000. That makes Scorpion one thousand mushrooms. Spider triples as it nears the shooter. Every figure here is the manual ticket, with Millipede gnat noted as out of scope.
How to use it
Pick two foes and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked: one holds a count of the first, one the matching count of the second, one the total in points. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Scorpion against mushrooms.
Sequel foes stay out: Gnat, beetle and inchworm belong to Millipede, so only Centipede ROM rows exist. Poisoned centipede dives fast yet pays the same 10 and 100, which is why no poison rows exist. Trackball aim decides spider distance pay, noted as outside math. Scorpion 1000 against mushroom 1 shows one thousand to one. Spider close 900 triples distant 300.
