You can play it against the computer +or against a friend. The playing field consists of squares that contains +points. By clicking on the squares you can increase the points, and if the +points reach a maximum the points will jump to the squares neighbors and take +them over. The winner is the one who owns all squares. + + + + + +Playing &kjumpingcube; + + +Rules + + +A move consists of increasing the points of a square by clicking +on it. You can only increase a square that doesn't belong to your opponent. By +clicking a square that has no owner, you become the owner. +If a square has more points than it has neighbors, the points +jump to its neighbors and take them over. +Neighbor-Fields are only direct neighbors, not the diagonal +neighbors. +The winner is the one who owns all squares. + + + + + + + +Command Reference + + +The Menu Bar + + +The <guimenu>Game</guimenu> Menu + + + + + +&Ctrl;N +GameNew + +Start a new game. + + + + +&Ctrl;O +GameLoad... + +Open a previously saved game. + + + + +&Ctrl;S +GameSave + +Save the current game. + + + + +GameSave As... + + +Save the current game with a different +name. + + + + +Escape +GameStop Thinking +Stop the computer opponent thinking about its next +move.
