EXPLODE - By Peter D. Hibbs
Explode is a game designed for
the thinking types among you. The
first thing you must do before
playing Explode is to unplug that
joystick and plug in your brain
and prepare yourself for some
serious brain busting.
The object of the game is
to turn all the pieces on the
board to your own colour. To play
the game move the mouse pointer
to a square and click the left
mouse button. This will add one
to that square in your colour (
you cannot select a square with
your opponents piece on it). Each
square has a critical explode
value; The corner squares are 2,
the edge squares are 3 and all
central squares are 4.
When the number on a
piece reaches its critical value,
the square will explode and the
pieces with move to the adjacent
2, 3 or 4 squares. If any of
these adjacent squares have your
opponent's pieces on them, they
will change to your colour thus
capturing that square. If a
captured square reaches its
critical value, it will inturn
explode and may capture further
squares in a chain reaction
across the board.
