          THE KNIGHT'S ARENA!


        ARENA CHESS HORSE!



Author: N-Discovery
Genre: Puzzle


  To the concept of "chess horse" the British did not
guessed, so the title game and got so dvuhsmyslennym ... ;))


  First, the roots of the history of the game
(Very small).


  So one day I observed a boring lecture in a crumbling
Air flies ... When one of them fell
to the neighbor table, tenacious glance spektrumista saw in it 
something: escape from boredom in the form of the game on 
paper! After playing in it, future author of "The Knight's 
Arena" thought: what if all this translate a computer game? ..



  Thus, the goal of the game. It's simple: ride on
playing field so that each visit
her box. And this should be a way chess knight, and hints at 
what Name of this creation. At first glance,

everything is simple, but it is the firm
sign of logical games. :)


  In "The Knight's Arena" There are three game modes:


a) The game itself, or a classic

    version - the same one that was in

    "Paper" version. The purpose - to fill

    all the squares.

b) playing with a computer - oh, there are already interesting
    An interesting! Computer you will not find a pacifier
    It can happen in every possible way interfering with its 
overrun     Niemi roads and borrowing strategically


    important places - to top it all

    still claim a victory over you ...

    The purpose - to hold out longer than the opponent.

 in) and here you have the possibility
    sequence povypendrivatsya before his

    friend (pre-will train
    lished in the "b"), while for r
    varivaya: "Well what are you a chess player,

    even if the horse can not have? ".

    ;-) Purpose - outdo the opponent.



  All of the above modes of play can be switched with a big 
button "SELECT GAME".


  However, the gameplay will be better
insight, if a little wait, nothing
do not hit until Comprises demontratsionny mode. And only then 
to continue familiarize themselves with the description.



  Speaking of buttons and options! Management
program is carried out:

  - Sinclair-joysticks

  - Kempston Mouse,

  - As well as the standard layouts

    Keyboard: "Q, A, O, P, Space (M)" or

                 "S, X, O, P, Space (M)".


  In fact, the interface is very simple and light up comments 
allow it to navigate intuitively. 


  Therefore, it is unlikely you will do not understand 
something, especially when you consider that CIAPR logic, ie 
this or that obscurity can be regarded as a special author's 
idea. ;-) 


  The only thing that can cause confusion, since it buttons 
with strange hieroglyphics. :) 


  We list them all:
a) at the boundaries of the playing field are two
the panels with buttons, with which
You can change the size of the arena, or browse through the 
description,:) 

b) next to the "QUIT" to the buttons
image of the square - it rocks in the garden, I mean the 
obstacles that complicate the game; 

c) a little higher "START GAME" There are two
yellow arrows, which can be
select figures chips.

  Here's a new version of the game "Tic - Tac Toe." Just as in 
standard (paper) game, players make moves in turn, placing a 
space on the field of cross or crosses. The game has music that

can rest, clicking on a cup of coffee ...



  Good luck! Play and win!
