===================================================================
                     HOW TO PLAY COLOR HUNT
===================================================================
The goal of the game is to gain points by removing game pieces 
from the board. When you place five same color pieces on matching 
color squares (say, five red balls on red squares), they are 
removed from the board. 

To make a move, click on the desired piece (it will start flashing), 
then click on a square where you want to move it. The flashing 
piece will move to the selected destination if there is a path of 
contiguous squares between the two locations so that it can "roll"
to the new square. 

If as a result of the move five same color pieces are positioned on 
matching squares, they are removed from the board and you are awarded 
game points. Otherwise, two new pieces will randomly appear on the 
board. The special "smiley" piece can be used as a wild card ("joker"),
i.e. instead of any color.

The status line along the bottom of the board shows current counts 
for each color. First number represents a total count of particular 
color pieces on the board, the second number shows how many of them 
reside on matching sqares.

In the Beginner level you score 1 point for each game piece removed 
from the field. The Intermediate level awards 2 points, and the 
Expert level gives you 3 points for each piece.
