*** 7 Colors for Windows CE ***
Version 1.0

Franois PESSAUX November 2000

1) What is the game about
-------------------------

This is an implementation of a very old game I used to play when I was at the
university. It was a really cool game, especially during the long courses some
teachers used to inflict us ;-)
The aim is simply to acquier at least 50% of the board. You acquire some diamonds
on the board by choosing a color (with the bottom buttons). Each diamond adjacent
to yours and having this color become yours. Simple no ?
The only thing: you're not allowed to play yoru current color (I mean the color you
choose the previous time), and you're also not allowed to play the same color than
your opponent is currently.
Players begin the game each on a corner of the board (lower left for player 1, and
upper right for player 2). Each players play turn by turn. The current player's
turn is indicated by a small white triangle on the diamond located at the player's
starting position (I mean in the corner of the board belonging to the player who
must play).

I think that there is no more very important thing to say. I may write a better
doc for the next release ;-)

This is my first program under Windows (and a fortiori under Windows CE), so there
may be some bugs or features not cleanly implemented. Please don't flame ;-)))
