DISCIPLINE: Tamagotchi needs discipline if it:

1) beeps even though it is full and happy

2) won't eat when it is hungry

3) won't play games when it is not very happy. If you neglect to disciplineTamagotchi when needed, it might grow up into an unattractive, bad manneredalien.

HAPPINESS AND HUNGER STATUS CHECK

There are a total of 4 hearts on the 'Happy' and 'Hunger'screens and they start out empty. The more hearts that are filled, thebetter satisfied Tamagotchi is. You must feed or play with Tamagotchi inorder to fill the empty hearts. If you keep Tamagotchi full and happy,it will grow into a cute, happy cyber creature. If you neglect Tamagotchi,it will grow into an unattractive alien.

DISCIPLINE STATUS CHECK

As the meter moves towards the right, it indicates you are raising awell-behaved Tamagotchi.

The higher the discipline scale the less trouble and better behavedTamagotchi will be. The key to increasing the discipline meter is to makesure you scold Tamagotchi when necessary. If Tamagotchi beeps at you forno reason, you must discipline it.
