You will receive a ZIP file, that you must expand in order to play the
game.
The currently is no README file, with the program, so I'm going to
give a quick overview of the program here.
How to play
The game is quite simple, and similar to the game of checkers. You
play around a 6 edge star, and each player has ten marbles, that are
placed in the 10 spots in the player's home base. The object of the
game is to be the first to get all ten marbles in the opposing edge of
the star. In order to do this, a player can move it's marbles, either
by moving to an adjacent spot (6 directions) if it's empty, or, by a
number of successive jumps. A jump is permitted if the adjacent square
is occupied, and the adjacent square (in the same direction) to that
one is free. Once a jump is executed, the player can keep on jumping
as long as he wants. Jumps have to be followed by jumps, i.e. a player
cannot jump, then make a simple move, and a jump cannot follow a
simple move.
To make a move, each player must drag the marble it want's to move to
the next spot, release the left mouse button, and repeat, if a
multiple move is performed. Once the move is completed, the player,
must press on the Right mouse button, to finish the move.
Starting the game
When you start a new game, you can select to play from 1 to 6 players,
this is the number of players playing at you computer. If you wish to
play over a network, then you must select the number of players that
will play on that machine. If you wish to play alone, then select 1
player, the computer will automatically be the second player. Enter
the name of each player in the appropriate box.
Network Play
To play over a network, one computer must be chosen as a server, the
only thing the server does, is to keep track of players and
moves. Note: The server must press OK, before the other players try
to connect. The players that want to connect to the server must
fill-in the server name. Once the server has received all the
connections, the person at the station, will start the game. Each
player will play in turn, as they would on a single machine.
