File contents
QUARTERS ~~~~~~~~ This is a great domino type of game and I have done some changes to the program as I got it from a tape I was given. I have tidied up the brief instructions showing which keys to use and allowed for skipping these once you know them and the game starts with the opening screen rather than the instructions. I found too that on completion of the game, the grid was rather abruptly cleared and the scores shown. I have altered this to read 'GAME OVER' and 'Press SPACE bar' above and below the grid. It is more tricky to play than dominoes as you need to match up to four colours correctly to place a domino. Also, the more colours that you match, the higher your score.
