- AMADO is a creative mind teasing game. It is not only challenging
- and stimulating, it exercises the brain as well. This unique game
- will build the creativity of the user along with increasing brain
- concentration while playing.

- CONCEPT of AMADO :
-
- Each box of the pattern is RED, BLUE, or YELLOW. You will be able
- to move the box cursor to the adjacent box either vertically or
- horizontally using arrow keys.
-
- Rule 1 : Movement between two different colored boxes will change
- the color of the destination box into the third color.
-
- Rule 2 : There will be no change in colors when you move between
- the same colored boxes.
-
-
- Example ( Rule 1 ):
- If you move from RED box to BLUE box, the BLUE box (destination box)
- will become YELLOW box which is the third color.
-
-
-
- R + B ==> R + Y
- ^ ^
-
-
- Example ( Rule 2 ):
- If you move from RED box to RED box, the destination RED box is still
- RED.
-
-
- R + R ==> R + R
- ^ ^
