rantaiwarna
===========

Description
-----------

rantaiwarna is a tile-matching puzzle game which is also known under the names
"Chain Shot!" or "SameGame". It is played on a rectangular board which is
initially filled with elements of several different colors. Two or more
adjacent elements of the same color may be eliminated, the score resulting from
the elimination of elements depends on the number of elements eliminated at
once. The goal of the game is to eliminate as many elements as possible until
there are no more adjacent elements of the same color left or the board is
completely cleared.  Vertical gaps resulting from the elimination of elements
are filled by sliding down elements from above the gap, column gaps are filled
by sliding columns on the right side of the column gap to the left.

Build Instructions
------------------

rantaiwarna requires a POSIX:2004 compatible operating system, and needs GNU
make, GNU or BSD install, the xsltproc tool from libxml2 and an implementation
of the curses library compatible with X/Open CURSES Issue 4 to be installed.
It can take advantage of advanced features of recent ncurses versions, in
particular mouse support, but it also works with the native curses
implementations of Solaris, NetBSD, and UnixWare.  It has been tested on Linux
distributions, FreeBSD, Solaris and Illumos-derived distributions, UnixWare,
and OpenServer.
