Jumping Jack

Jumping Jack knows a rhyme, a four verse limerick. Unfortunately he is unwilling to recite it unless you help   him scale the levels to the top of the screen. Only by

helping him through all twenty screens will you learn the   entire rhyme. For each screen completed he will tell you a little more.

Jack is faced with eight layers initially containing only two   moving gaps, the gap moving leftwards travels upwards   whilst the gap moving to the right travels downwards.   Jack must jump through the gaps above him whilst   avoiding falling through the gaps below.

Jack can only move upwards by jumping through the   gap above but he can also move left and right. Should he   run off the edge of the screen he will wrap around to the   other edge. Should he fall down a layer he will bang his   head and remain unconscious for a period of time during   which he cannot move. Every time he arrives at the   bottom of the screen unconscious he loses a life.

At each successful jump a new gap appears at random.   On making a   successful jump at the top layer the 'next level' sequence   is entered, and the next part of the rhyme is given.

Hazards will begin to appear after the first level - one   initially, then two right up to a maximum of twenty, one   for each level completed. They all ascend and if Jack   collides with a hazard he will be knocked unconscious.
