Rules of the Game ***********************************************************
     When the game is started, a window is displayed with a rectangle filled
     with blocks randomly consisting of 5 different colors (SameGame) or with
     different pipes (MitiGame).
        1. The object of the game is to gain high score as possible by
           clearing large  group of blocks as possible.
        2. Points are earned by clearing groups of blocks with the same color
           (SameGame) or connecting pipes (MitiGame) with pieces that are
           either above, below, left, or right may be cleared in a  move.
        3. Points are calculated by (n-2)^2, where n is the number of blocks
           cleared in a single move.  To gain a high score, therefore,
           it is necessary to create large groups of blocks with the same
           color.
        4. When a block is cleared, a block above will fall down to fill its
           place.  If a column is cleared, blocks to the lefts are all moved
           to fill in the gap.
        5. The game ends when there are no more blocks that may be cleared.

How to Play *****************************************************************
  Move the mouse pointer over the blocks.  Blocks that may be cleared change
as the pointer moves over it.
  Click the left mouse button or press the SPACE key to clear blocks.
      Gets:  Point gained from clearing selected blocks.
      Rests: Remaining number of blocks.
      Total: Total point (=Gets-Rests).

Making your own block *******************************************************
  Try looking at one of the blocks by opening the BMP file included with this
package.
  1. Each block is 32x32 dots.
  2. Blocks may have 2, 16, or 256 colors.

     background.  The bottom block is not used during the game.
