The game screen

Game screen shows you the matches, the names of the players, time counters and some buttons. The player whose turn it is to play is surrounded.

To select matches to remove, select a match, it moves to right with all matches which were at its right, and the “Play" button is enabled. Select this button, matches on the right side are removed and the player name is changed.

But before selecting the "Play" button you can change the matches to be removed selecting a match in the same row, you will see matches move to right or to left, and if there no more match at right, the "Play" button will be disabled and you can select in all the rows.

If you play alone against the automate, you will see then the automate to choose its matches and remove them, and this will be your turn again.

When there will be at most one match in each row, program will indicate who is the winner, you can continue to play as long as it remains matches, but there is few interest since only possible strokes are to remove one match, the row having no importance, and the winner cannot change.

If you had set a maximum time and a player exceeds this time, the timers are stopped, and you'll indication that the player has lost. You can continue to play but the loser will not change.

If you win against the automate and establish a record (with less than 1000 seconds !) or beat your record for initial configuration of matches a particular screen will tell you and ask if you want to save it (note that the initial configurations with the same accounts in rows and permutations of rows are considered equivalent).

If the first player is the automate, you will see a "Start" button to start the game, and when you select this button the automate will play his first stroke.

The button

undo the last stroke recursively (by the player, if there is an automate its last stroke is also canceled), and the button redo recursively these undone strokes.

By action bar or options menu, you can reset the game board (command "Reset" ) or and display the help or the records screens.
