It's the game of Addle ported to the Psion (see the Acknowledgements section below). psAddle is a simple but addictive numbers strategy game played against the Psion. There are 3 difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, and Hard - and also a 2-Player mode for 2 people to play against each other.
1) Beat the Psion's
Score by as much as possible
2) Improve upon your own Best Score for that level
3) Beat the Psion's
Best Score and number of Wins
Start by taking any 'highlighted' number from the grid (i.e. tap on one of the cells in the raised line on the grid). The Psion
then has to select from the column/row you've chosen. The game is over when either player cannot move or all the numbers have been used up.
- or the other player in 2-Player mode.

Your Score is the sum of the numbers you've selected. The Psion's
Score is the sum of the numbers it's selected. Simple...? Maybe not:-
More fiendish is your Best Score - which isn't just the highest Score achieved but rather the difference between your score and the Psion's
. It's usually possible to beat the Psion on the Normal or Hard levels - but it's hard to beat it by a lot!
The machine keeps tabs on this difference as your 'Best' and your number of 'Wins' v's the Psion's
for each level. So really the objective becomes keeping your Best Score and number of Wins ahead of the Psion's
! Heh, heh...

psAddle was originally written for the Psion by John Peat (john@peatj.demon.co.uk) and he supported it up to v1.01b. Unfortunately - due to other committments - John was not able to continue to support or develop his programs as he would have liked. Consequently, FreEPOC have agreed to take over John's programs. And in the case of psAddle, that means me!

2-Player Mode can be selected from the Preferences screen (Ctrl+K) in the 'Difficulty/mode' option or by pressing the 'New' button on the toolbar. It allows you to play psAddle against another person instead of against the machine.
You can also specify the players' names that will be displayed on the screen in 2-Player Mode by pressing the 'Players names' (n) button in the Preferences screen (selected by pressing Ctrl+K or the 'Prefs' button on the toolbar).
