The rules of DROPBALL

	requirements:
	PC with P75 or better with DirectX 8 compatible video card and sound system
	Win98 or Windows XP with Microsoft DirectX 8 or later
	
        The not registered game stops after 5 minutes
        or 50 000 points automatically!
	
	The new skins can be chosen in the registered game after
	achieving certain high scores...

1. Don't let the hole fill up with balls! The game ends
   if all the columns are filled up, and the machine
   can't drop in more balls on the top. 
2. You can eliminate the balls, if you collect 7 balls
   of the same colour vertically, horizontally or diagonally.
3. You can change the position of the balls by moving
   the rows or the columns.
4. To move a row use the mouse, click on the arrows
   on the right or the left side. A row can be moved
   only if all the balls in the row are standing. Move 
   the top line carefully, because if there are more than
   two balls in the moving top line, the machine might not drop 
   the next ball on the top, and the game ends!
5. To move a column, click on an arrow on  the bottom. 
   The ball falling off on the bottom will be dropped in
   on the top again. A column can't be moved, if it is filled
   up. 
7. 7 balls of the same colour (but not green) in a row,
   column or diagonal will disappear. If you collect less 
   than 7 balls of the same colour, their colour will be changed:
	3 green ones  will be turned into blue ones
	4 blue ones   will be turned into yellow ones
        5 yellow ones will be turned into red ones
        6 red ones    will be turned into brown ones;
   (You can't collect 7 greens, you can try it, if you don't 
   believe it!)
8. Collecting punish-balls can be bad or good.
9. Collect 5 punish-balls to get 10000 bonus points and
   to slow down the falling in of the balls a bit. It is not
   easy, because you can collect 3 punish-balls meanwhile,
   and that is bad!
10.If you collect 4 punish-balls, you will get the 
   'slip mode' for 30 seconds. In this mode you can't 
   build standing high columns alone, because the balls will slip down, 
   if they don't have 3 neighbours under them.
   Dont't collect 4 punish-balls in 'slip mode', otherwise you
   will get the 'dropball' punishment (see later).
11.If you collect 3 punish-balls, you will get the
   'diagonal mode'. In this mode the balls will transform
   or disappear only if they are arranged diagonally. The
   'diagonal mode' will end, when you collect 7 balls of
   the same colour (of course diagonally!).
   Don't collect 3 punish-balls in 'diagonal mode' 
   (possibly of course only diagonally), otherwise you will get the 
   'dropball' punishment (see later).
12.The dropball punishment:
   On the top 7 balls will be dropped in (or less, if the
   column(s) have already been filled up). OOOPS!!
13.Collecting bonus:
   If you collect 7 balls of the same colour, you can have 15
   seconds to collect 7 more again. If you do it, you will get 1000
   points and 15 seconds again. Then you will get 4000 
   points...then 9000 points...then 16000 points...etc.
14.Don't give up!! I have more than 2 000 000 points...
