CHECKMATE
By EQUALIZER - Art Of Code
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ GAME RULES │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
You must associate tiles two by two. You may think it's easy but you have
limited time. This time decreases as long as you pass levels.
You can associate tiles only if :
- they are the same.
(Flowers can be associated with other flowers. Same for seasons !)
- tiles have to be linked by a 2 (maximum) corners line like this :
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ GOOD EXAMPLES: │
│ │
│ 1) D───────D 2) D────┐ 3) D───────┐ 4) DD │
│ │ │ │
│ D D───┘ │
│ │
│ 0 corner 1 corner 2 corners 0 corner │
│ │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ BAD EXAMPLES: │
│ │
│ 1) D──┐A┌──D 2) ┌────┐ │
│ └─┘ D │ │
│ D┘ │
│ 4 corners ! 3 corners ! │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
You can get any help by pressing right mouse button during game.
These 'Helps' are limited ! Each level finished without using any HELP
increases your help-number (maximum = 8).
Flowers and seasons give you more time......
"CHECKMATE" appears on the screen when you can't associate tiles anymore.
To get "EQUALIZER BONUS" you must finish the level with associating
'E' Tiles at last.

│ ABOUT MOUSE DRIVERS. │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
You must use any MicroSoft 100% True-Compatible driver to run checkmate.
Some non-Microsoft drivers actually don't work well in 320*200 vga.
If your mouse doesn't work properly during the game, try to get a true
Microsoft driver !
( Problems occurred with AMOUSE & LOGITECH bugged-drivers ! )
