GAME OVERVIEW
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each game will have one or more play screens. Each play screen has a
picture and four clue lists, one for each of four levels. The clue lists
describe various items found in that screen's picture. The object of the
game is to respond quickly to randomly selected clues by moving the mouse
cursor to an appropriate section of the picture and clicking it. A
correct response is given when the object diretly under the cross hairs of
the magnifying glass shaped cursor match the given clue and the left mouse
button is clicked.
Five clues will be selected at random on each level of each screen. These
clues represent scoring opportunities. Colored blocks dropping down the
right side of the screen show the scoring time available for each given clue.
Quicker correct responses will be rewarded with higher scores.
Penalties will be given for incorrect responses. Each bad click on a given
clue cuts a scoring opportunity by a third. Three bad clicks and the scoring
opportunity is missed. A game starts with three misses allowed. Misses
allowed are represented by pins in the lower right corner of the play screen.
A new pin is rewarded after each screen past the third one is completed.
The game is declared over if all of the pins are lost.
Full length games will have ten screens with four levels of five clues each.
Demos and other game files that offer fewer scoring opporunities will have
their final scores adjusted so that completed game scores of different games
may be compared with one another.
An automatic speed control feature will slow the game down when scoring
opportunities are missed, or if the colored timing block is allowed to get
too low. This feature may help beginners keep a game going. The speed
control will shift back up when it senses it is ok to do so.
Another handy feature for beginners is the Computer Aided Movement.
When selected, the CAM will direct the cursor toward the nearest spot it
senses as good. The CAM may be turned on or off during the game. A penalty
is enforced on clues that come up when the CAM is on. This penalty and the
fact that the player must wait for the CAM to move will keep scores low when
the CAM is used. It is best left off unless needed.
It can be seen that scoring is based on speed and skill. Guages on the
play screen show how well a player is doing in these areas. Keep in mind
that two players may have the same speed and skill and yet end up with
different scores! Each scoring opportunity counts and it may be the last
clue on the last screen that puts a player on the high scores board.

HOW TO PLAY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To play Click-It, log into the drive and directory where the game is
installed, then enter CLICKIT. The program will quickly scan the directory
for game files and then show the game descriptions on a scrollable list.
Clicking on the scroll bar or arrows changes the selected game. Clicking on
a game description will select that game.
Game option Sound and CAM buttons are available on the main screen.
'Sound' turns the sound effects Off/On.
'CAM' turns the Computer Aided Movement Off/On.
Other buttons available on the main screen are;
'Play' starts game play using the currently selected game file.
'Scores' accesses three high score boards. One board holds the top ten
scores achieved in that game session, one holds the top ten scores for the
currently selected game, and one holds the top ten all time scores.
Boards may be individually reset by clicking their 'Clear' button twice.
'Info...' will bring up information on the currently selected game file.
'Exit' will close the game.
