- GAME RULES
-
- The goal is to remove all the gems from the board and get the highest
- score. In order to do this you'll have to slide gems from sides of the
- board.
- If you click on a gem that is located somewhere along the border of the
- board, a new gem will appear close to it, and it will begin to slide
- towards the opposite side of the board. It will slide until it hits the
- border of the board or another gem that has a neighbour gem along the
- line of movement of the sliding gem. If that gem doesn't have such a
- neighbour, the sliding gem will push it until it will hit the board's
- border or a gem. In other words, the gem you throw can only push forward
- one other gem. When four or more gems of the same color come together
- (including sliding gem or gem it has pushed) they all disappear. More
- gems removed at once - more points you'll get. If you remove all the gems
- of some color and that type of gems won't be on the board's border on the
- next move, that type of gems won't appear anymore and your score is
- doubled. If you fail to remove any gems with your move - number of
- attempts for that round is counted down and when it goes down to zero
- some new gems appear and new round begins.
-
- Good luck!
