+The xonix application consists of a playing area and a
+status display below.
+
+The status display shows the current values for level,
+filled area (in percent), number of players (lifes), and
+elapsed time.
+
+The playing area has several regions. The brown region
+(initially only the border) is ``filled region'', where
+the player can move, starting from the top left corner.
+Beware of the bouncing yellow eater(s) that do also move
+across filled regions however, if they hit the player, a
+life will go away. The flyers can only bounce across the
+green (so-called empty) area in the middle.
+
+The purpose of the game is to move the player across the
+empty region (whereby it leaves his way in a brown color
+to show where it came along), and finally cut off a piece
+of unfilled region by moving him back to some filled
+region. If the player itself or the (unfilled yet) way
+will be hit by a flyer, a life will be lost again. Once
+the player's way reached another part of filled region,
+the way and all adjacent unfilled regions where there is
+no flyer in will be filled in turn. One level has com-
+pleted as soon as 75 % of the originally unfilled area
+have been filled this way.
+
+Every level, there will be one flyer more. Every second
+level, an additional player will be granted. Every fifth
+level, an additional eater will be fired off.
+
+
+
+The original xonix game has been seen somewhere on an old
+PC/XT clone. This is a reimplementation from scratch,
+done by Torsten Schönitz starting the project on a Macin-
+tosh. The X11 support has been written by Jörg Wunsch
+with the pleasant help by Alfredo Herrera Hernández.
