1. INTRODUCTION
--------------------------------

ADDiction is a puzzle game developed by Eriban Software. The idea
behind the game is simple. To solve the puzzles you need to swap
neighbouring tiles, but you can only swap two tiles when their sum
is a multiple of 3 or 5.

The core of this distribution is a Java 1.1 applet. The game can be
played with mouse and/or keyboard.

3. HOW TO RUN THE GAME
--------------------------------

To run ADDiction copy all files in this archive to one directory. 
Subsequently open "play.html" in your web-browser. The applet 
should appear and you should be able to play the game. If you 
experience any problems make sure that you have a browser that fully
supports Java 1.1.


4. HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN PAGE
--------------------------------

  NOTE: This section is intended for people who have been given 
        permission by Eriban Software to put the game on their
        website or to distribute it by any other means. If this 
        does not apply to you, ask for permission before you 
        distribute the game! 

The "play.html" file demonstrates how to embed the applet in your 
html page. You should use it as a basis for making your own 
ADDiction page. You can choose to omit the "detach" button. The 
comments in the file tell how this can be done.

The "play.html" file also includes basic help on how to play the
game. You can modify the help text and layout if you want to. It is,
however, highly recommended that you make this help information 
easily accessible to the user. Read the comments in the file for 
more details.
