       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.
