!Explode
Version 1.00 by Mike Williams.
Version 2.00 by D. Salt. Is much as version 1.00
except for a few tweaks to get it to run on the
desktop at an acceptable speed on ARM2 machines;
also a few colour changes.
!Cluster is a tactical game. The objective is to
remove all the opposing player's counters from the
board.
When a square has the same number of counters on it
as there are squares surrounding it, its contents
are scattered to those adjacent squares, adding a
counter to each. If a counter is scattered into a
square containing counters belonging to the
opposing player, those counters are captured
(change colour).
You are blue. The computer plays orange.
Use the mouse to indicate your move.
When it is your turn, the !Explode icon (on the
icon bar) will be shown as three blue discs. When
the pointer is over the game window, it will be
shown as a blue disc with an arrowhead attached.
When it is the computer's turn, the !Explode icon
will be shown as three orange discs. The percentage
indicator shows how much thinking the computer has
done when it is its turn; otherwise, it shows
'--%'.
Endgame is indicated by the discs in the !Cluster
being coloured light green. Click on this icon or
the game window to start a new game, or, if you
wish to change the board size...
The size of the playing area may be altered by
using the 'New game' submenu. Click on the arrows
to alter it, or on 'OK' (or 'New game') to set the
size and start a new game.
