Overview:
---------
ReCUB 2000 is a very simple game. You have to press in the same order, a sequence of buttons given by the computer. Initially, the sequence only consists in one button. As you are able to repeat the whole sequence, this increases. The game finishes when you make a certain number of mistakes.
The idea was taken of an old game for children, called "Simon says". In this game there were four buttons of different colors. They indicated by means of lights and sounds, the sequence of buttons to press.
ReCUB 2000 is fully-customizable. You can change the number and position of the buttons, the number of mistakes allowed, the speed of the sequence, the sounds, the music, etc. Also, you can change the graphics of the game, called "skins", and make your owns!. Read the help HTML file for a full explanation.
Playing the game:
-----------------
╖ To begin a new game, press the Play button at the right of the board, or F2.
╖ Now, the computer will reproduce the first sequence (that consist in only one button).
╖ You can repeat the sequence with the NumPad (The number keys at the right of the keyboard) or the Mouse. Notice that in the default skin of ReCUB 2000 the buttons have the number's position of the NumPad.
╖ If you hit some wrong button, two indicators appears on the buttons: a diagonal cross ("x") in the wrong button, and a check mark in the button that you should press for a correct sequence. (The cross and the check mark appears in the default skin of ReCUB 2000, other skins may have other indicators). The "mistakes left" counter decreases.
╖ If you wait too much time between each button pressed, (and the "player time" option is enabled.. see "configuration" in the help file) a watch appears on the next button that you should press (The watch appears in the default skin of ReCUB 2000, other skins may have other indicators). The "mistakes left" counter also decreases in this situation.
╖ If your sequence is correct, the "Score" counter increases and the computer shows the next sequence.
╖ You can abort the game at any time, pressing the Quit button or F3. See the full short-cut reference in the help file.
╖ When the "mistakes left" counter reaches to zero you lose the game, and if you have a new record, your name will be asked.
