Clear the balls from the board one at a time as in draughts and solitaire,
but the balls must be removed in order of colour: Green, Orange, Cyan/Silver, Red,
Cream, Blue. Each colour must be completely cleared before proceeding to the
next colour. The aim is to be left with only one centred blue ball.
     <p>
     <a name="mouse"><b>Mouse action</b></a><br>
Move the pointer into the playing window.  The pointer will
jump to the middle of the board (for a new game). The ball
on its own in the top left corner takes no part in the game
and is only there to remind you which colour of ball must be
hopped over and removed next. It will change colour during
the game, but if you really don't like it hanging around up
there then move the pointer over it and click the left hand
mouse button (SELECT) and it will disappear.  It will
reappear if you make a mistake! Press the SELECT button to
continue if you receive a message.
     <p>
To move a ball depress and hold the SELECT button over a
ball, which does not have to have the same colour as the
ball being removed.  The pointer will change to a coloured
ball. Move the mouse to make the ball move in the desired
direction; note that its final destination must be a hollow;
you can move forwards, backwards or sideways but not
diagonally. Release the ball when it is over the hollow. The
ball in the middle, that was jumped over, will have
disappeared and your selected ball will be in its new
position with the pointer below and to the right, pointing to
this ball.
     <p>
Continue in this way until you have just one blue ball left in the center. 
Other variations are discussed in <a href="HelpPlay"><b>Game Play</b></a>. 
Press the <b>Escape</b> key to bring back the control window and finish the game.
