NAME

       vodovod - lead the water from the house to the storage tank

SYNOPSIS

       vodovod

DESCRIPTION

       Vodovod  is a free game, released under GNU GPL license. Graphics and programming are done
       by Milan Babuskov. This is an over-weekend project for  now,  so  don't  expect  miracles.
       However, game is completely playable.

       The  goal  of the game is to reach the highest possible score. You get a limited number of
       pipes on each level and need to combine them to lead the water from the house at  the  top
       of the screen to the storage tank at the bottom. For each pipe water goes through, you get
       20 points and if you fill the cross-pipe both ways, you get 60  points.  At  end  of  each
       level, you are awarded depending on the skill level:

        * Beginner: 100 points
        * Toolman: 100 points + number of pipes remaining
        * Master plumber: 100 points + 2 x number of pipes remaining

       Some  of the levels have obstacles where you cannot place pipes, checkpoints through which
       the water must go and holes in the ground that slow the flow. Select HELP  from  the  main
       menu  to  get more info. The game is playable with joystick/joypad: just move it and press
       buttons when you go to Options -> Configure controls

USAGE

       The goal of the game is to use pipes to connect the house at the top of  the  screen  with
       the  tank  at  the  bottom. You have time to construct the initial pipeline before the man
       enters the house.

       For  each level you get a limited number of pipes, so use  them  wisely.  If  you  make  a
       mistake, you can place another pipe over it.

       There are certain special blocks in the map:
        * Blocked Area       - You cannot place pipes on these fields.
        * Checkpoint         - Your pipeline must go through this field.
        * Hole in the ground - Slows down the flow.
