ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About BallsBall version 1.1 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The BallsBall Game is a sample Presentation Manager game. I saw game like this
some years ago on old big, but no good computers with black-green screens. I
not to remember name of the game and authors of idea, but I played then without
a stop. Then the big and bad computers have disappeared, have occurred small
and bad and I have absolutly overlooked this toy. But resently has recollected,
and so was wanted again to play, that has made it anew.
And I have thought: let the people play too! I have added some decorations,
which so appeal to the public. And here, look!

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 21. Rules ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The rules are very simple. You should make new ways on a field. You do it
through the runner. You operate him with the help of arrow keys (to left,
right, top and down) or mous. For each added cell you receive one point. The
cells are added when runner comes back on a old way.
On a field balls go. If one of them touches a new way and the runner had no
time reach a old way, the new way falls. You lose on a point for each destroyed
cell and minuses of 50 points for collision.
If to you will manage to stop a ball, you receive for it 100 points. It very
difficultly, but probably. For example, you can limit his field. Also under
some conditions he jams. I do not inform, which this condition. Try it!
On ways hunters go. They move only ahead. If ahead to move is impossible, they
turn ago. If there is choice, they choose a direction of movement casually. For
collision with a hunter you lose 50 points.
The game has 11 levels. Quantity of balls and hunters equally a level + 4. If
for 3 minutes you have typed 2/3 points from all existing on field, you pass to
a next level. Otherwise you have lost. If you have typed 4/5 points from all
existing on field less than for 3 minutes, you pass to a next level before. If
you already on 11 level, you have won.
You can supervise for your score in text line. 4/5 is 100%, 2/3 is 84%.
In any case, if you after the termination of game have got on 10 place or
higher, your name is introduced to the High Scores.
