Skills

There would be no point in trying to escape if our loveable Penguins didn't possess
a few skills. On the left of the game screen are all the skills that a Penguin would
want to own.  Skills can be selected by left clicking on a Penguin icon with a number
next to it.  The number denotes how many of those skills remain... 
They aren't infinite so use them wisely!  Once a skill has been selected, highlight
a Lemming using the cursor and press the left mouse button.

CLIMBER
Climbers can climb up vertical surfaces but will fall off if they
encounter an overhang.  The ability to climb is a permanent skill.

FLOATER
A Floater will slowly float down to the ground if he falls from
something.  The ability to float is a permanent skill.

EXPLODER
An Exploder will explode, making a crater in the landscape and
obliterating the Penguin.  He will, however, carry on what he was doing for five
seconds before exploding.  Any Penguin can be made into an Exploder.

BLOCKER
A Blocker prevents Penguins from passing him.

BUILDER
A Builder will build a ramp slowly upwards for 12 tiles.  He can be
interrupted from what he is doing at any time by giving him another skill.

BASHER 
A Basher smashes his way through obstacles in a horizontal direction.  He
can also be given another skill while he is still bashing.

MINER 
Miners dig down in a diagonal direction, depending on which way they are
walking, leaving a useful tunnel behind them.  They can also be changed into 
something else while they are mining.

DIGGER 
A Digger digs vertically downwards as far as he can go, leaving a hole
behind him. He can also be assigned another skill while he is digging.
