===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Barraging Barriers is a challenging multi-level puzzle game. The object
is to score as many points as you can by collecting bonuses as you
advance to higher and higher levels, trying not to let the barraging
barriers barricade you.
Ther are bonus squares on each level worth between 100 and 500 points.
When the player maneuvers over these squares, he is rewarded the
specified number of points. All of the other squares which do not
specify a bonus are worth 10 points. After a bonus is taken, the square
will not offer any more points if it is touched again. When the user
completes a level he is rewarded 1000 points.
The game begins with a game grid with one blue square, one square which
contains a red and yellow star, many light gray squares and many dark
gray squares.
The blue square represents your current position. You can move this by
either using your mouse to select one of the direction arrow buttons that
are adjacent to it or by using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
The star represents the square that you must get to in order to advance
to the next level. Once this is accomplished, a new game grid is
displayed which should be a little harder to solve than the previous one.
The light gray squares represent open squares that you are free to move
onto if you wish.
The dark gray squares represent barriers which you cannot move onto or
through. These barriers restrict your movements and can make getting to
the star very difficult. They are also capable of moving, but their
movements are predictable and are based on your location and movements.
When you move your current position, the barrier directly above your new
location (if there is one) will move down one square if it can. If the
barrier is directly above your new location with no open squares between
you and it, no movement will occur.
When a barrier moves down, it will try to bring with it all barriers that
are connected on its left and right sides. If, however, one of the
barriers cannot move down due to another barrier being in the way or
there is no valid open square directly below it, the barrier chain will
be broken at this point. The best way to become familiar with how the
barriers move, however, is to start playing!
The game is over when you cannot reach the star and you cannot win
any more points. The game will not tell you this so you will have to
select the Reset button to start a new game when this occurs.
