Game Functionality
==================
* When a player is serving, they are loaded to an appropriate point near
the T of the baseline. The opponent is placed behind their baseline
and the appropriate service box.
* To serve, press and hold the serve button. Release when the power bar
hits the power zone. To receive serve, press and release the serve
button.
* The opponent cannot move up into the service box before returning the
serve to prevent service faults.
* Except during service, the ball bounces off the bat, as opposed to
being hit with a button.
* Unlike tennis, the ball will bounce off the sidewalls.
* The ball always bounces on screen if left to its natural path
(although it can be volleyed).
* The ball bounces from the bat and from the vertical edges of the court
(as the court appears on screen).
* Players can only hit the ball out of play behind the baseline.
* At the end of each match, Player Statistics are provided to analyse
and improve player performance.
* All players start in the first round (except from a saved game) and
make their way to the Final.
* Winning a match allows you to save a game.
* Choosing another application pauses the game.
HINT: Players can influence the direction and speed of a return with the
momentum of their bat.
Point Scoring
=============
* The score is shown in a small format on the game screen and is updated
when the player positions are reset for serving.
* The game and running scores are shown at the end of each game.
* The player is shown the scores and a result message at the end of a
match. This only happens after the player has completed a whole match.
* At the end of a match, you can save the game with a single stylus
action or proceed to the next level.
Lose/Replay
===========
* When a game is lost, you are invited to play again. This will take you
to the start of the previous level.
