The object of the game is to limit the size of room for the balls. </p><p> The size of the active area of the field is decreased by making new walls that enclose areas without balls in them. To complete a level, the player must decrease the size of the active field by at least 75% within the time allowed. </p><p> New walls are built by clicking the <span class="mousebutton">left</span> mouse button in an active area of the field, at which point one wall will begin to grow in opposite directions from the square the mouse was clicked in. Only one wall in each direction may be growing on the screen at any given time. </p><p> When the mouse is on the field, the cursor is shown as a pair of arrows pointing in opposite directions, either horizontally or vertically. The arrows point in the direction the walls will grow when the <span class="mousebutton">left</span> mouse button is clicked. This direction can be changed by clicking the <span class="mousebutton">right</span> mouse button. </p><p> A new wall has a <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">head</span>”</span> which moves away from the point where the mouse was clicked. A wall is not permanent until this <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">head</span>”</span> runs into another wall. If a ball collides with any part of the wall except the head, before the head has run into another wall, the new wall will disappear completely and one life will be lost. If a ball collides with the head in the direction of the wall's growth, the wall will stop growing there, and become permanent, with no loss of life. If a ball collides with the head from any other side, the ball will bounce off and the wall will continue to grow normally. </p></div></div><div id="footer"><div class="navCenter"><table class="navigation"><tr><td class="prevCell"><a accesskey="p" href="introduction.html">Prev</a></td><td class="upCell"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Contents</a></td><td class="nextCell"><a accesskey="n" href="rules_and_tips.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td class="prevCell">Introduction </td><td class="upCell"> </td><td class="nextCell"> Game Rules, Strategies and Tips</td></tr></table></div><div id="footer_text">Would you like to make a comment or contribute an update to this page?<br>Send feedback to the <a href="mailto:kde-doc-english@kde.org" class="footer_email">KDE Docs Team</a></div></div></div></body></html></FILENAME><FILENAME filename="rules_and_tips.html"><html><head><title>Chapter 3.
