Welcome to Ten-In-A-Row online game! The game is fairly easy to learn,
yet can challenge you for hours on end. If you have ever played the game called
Rack-O (tm) you may be able to grasp the concept quite easy.
The basic game play is this: You try to get 10 cards all in somewhat
consecutive order going from left to right. It will be explained more in
detail in the next section. Basically the whole object of the game is
to be the high scorer (obviously).
The main menu of the game that has shown up after the registration
screen should be quite self-explanitory, so I won't go into all the items
in any sort of detail, As you have already figured out how to use it if you
are reading this!

╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
When playing the game, you will see 10 cards drawn on the screen with
a small brown box above each one, with one of these boxes containing a yellow
asterisk to indicate that it is the selected card. The whole point of the game
is to get all 10 cards in some sort of semi-consecutive order. The rule behind
them being in 'consecutive order' is that the card must be either one higher
or lower than the one next to it. For example if you had this hand:
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 3 | | 4 | | 3 | | 4 | | 5 | | 8 | | 9 | | T | | J | | Q |
|___| |___| |___| |___| |___| |___| |___| |___| |___| |___|
You would get credit for having the first 5 cards being consecutive,
but not for the last 5 cards as there is a break in the string. The streak
must always start from the card on the far left and work to the right. To
change a card, move the asterisk to that box (by using the arrow keys : Be
sure that your numlocks key is on) and press enter to put the top card from
the stockpile (the card displayed below the 10 card row) onto that spot.
The sysop can define the amount of stock-pile cards you get, so if you find
it too easy or too hard, have him adjust the number.
The scoring works on the basis of how many consecutive cards. After
you run out of cards, or have the screen set up just how you like, press "Q"
to end the game, and it will score your streak. The scoring goes as follows:
Consecutive Cards Score
------------------- -------
1 0
2 100
3 200
4 300
5 400
6 500
7 600
8 700
9 1500
10 2000
That's really all there is to it. So have fun, and enjoy the game!
If you like it, encourage your sysop to register it!
