	Discription:

	Never a dull moment in the next schoolyear with MULTI-PONG. It is again a great
	Link Game from me like MARIO DEATHMATCH but now you don't have to wait untill the
	school, college wathever has started to test it with one of your friends.
	Multi-Pong is a ping-pong game for the TI-83. It contains three
	different games. The Classic-style, Multiplayer-practise and Multiplayer-link. 

	Features:
	
	- Three pong styles into one game
	- Self-made bigsize numbers for score
	- Highscore with name-input (10 chars)
	- Highscore is auto updated with friends during Linkplay
	- Direct-input for smooth grafix
	- Nice Arteficial Intelligence for Multiplayerpractice
	- Point symetric calculations so both can play the lower paddle on Multiplayer-link
	- At last but not least Linkplay !!!!

	If you really like this game and you want to support the creator please send a
	postcard from the city you are living or money in your national currency.

	How to start the game:

	Send Ion.83g, Install Ion, send pong.83p, start Ion with prgmA, Select Pong,
	Start Pong with enter, Select gamestyle and Have fun !!!


	In the game:

	The arrow-keys are for the movement of your paddle, Mode quits the current game
	Press clear to quit during error in linkgame, del to reset the highscore.


	Classic-style:

	In this game you play against yourself. The purpose of this style is hitting the
	ball on the edge of the paddle. The ball will move now faster in the horizontal
	direction and you will get one extra point, but if you hit the ball in the middle
	one live will be substracted. If you missed the ball, than two lives will be
	substracted. You start with 10 lives, the score will also be the highscore.


	Multiplayer-practise:

	Here you can practise the multiplayer style. The rules are the same as on ping-pong
	The first one who reaches 21 points wins. It's rather easy to win from the calc, but
	it supports the newbies to play it against a real human opponent on Multiplayer-Link.
	
	The AI works the same as Ping-Pong from "Keen 4e" on his watch... damn I've played
	that game much.


	Multiplayer-link:

	The nicest part!! Playing against a real human gives such an extra dimension to games
	that all my future game will support multiplaying.
	Rules are the same as Multiplayer-practise. Be very very VERY sure that you are both
	in ion before choosing this style, because the ti-os sends stupid bytes via the link
	so Pong will be upset :) it is no problem if you are not connected but you won't be
	able to enter the style, just quit with mode.


	Highscore:

	You can enter your name after reaching a higher score in the classic style than before.
	You can only enter CAPITALS and chars from the Western-alphabet.
	A very nice feature is the auto transmission of the highscore on multiplayer.
	The scores will be compared and the highest one will be transmitted (name included).

	About the Link:

	Don't force the black link-cable in a way. This will cause lagg or a bad connection wich
	result in a possible crash. Lay your calculator on the table to provide a stable connection.


	Disclaimer:

	Multipong is very addictive and a teacher might catch you during playing it. Just tell
	him that you were giving your mind some time to store the information or give him a try
	and show him multi-pong ;)
	Anyhow.. The calculator might get into endless loop during linkplay. Press clear to
	exit this. If the link is forced in some way and you have a weak calc the connection also
	might get lost and your calc can crash. Just pull all batteries out (backup included) and
	hit "on" 10 times your calc will be reset. I'm not responsible for any lost of data, broken
	hardware or something else. Don't try to sue me because all you say will be used against you.
	


	wow you even read the disclaimer :)
