- ===== 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.
