'Lines' is a game on a 9 by 9 board where balls of seven different

colors may be located. You can move any ball along horizontal and

vertical lines only, just one at a time, to any desirable destination

cell unless the path to this cell is blocked. To move the ball tap it,

then tap the destination cell. Your goal is to remove as many balls as

possible by creating horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines of five or

more balls of same color. If such a line is created it is removed.

Otherwise three new balls are added to the board. New balls are placed

and colored randomly. Every removed ball gives you points. The more

balls is removed at a time the more premium points you get. The game

ends when all the board is filled. The 3 balls on the top of the board

shows you the colors of the next balls to be added to the board.

You can toggle their presence tapping on the 'Show/Hide ...' item

in the 'Game' menu.

Originally this game was developed for MS-DOS by GAMOS Company

(see http://www.gamos.ru/eng/games/lines.htm).

I wrote it from scratch for Palm OS. I have no relations to GAMOS.

All bugs are mine and not their, so blame me, not them.

This game is freeware and it was developed using GNU tools under Linux.

The full source code for the game is available under the terms of GPL
