1. What is Astrosmash?
**********************************


Astrosmash was first made for the Intellivision by Matell in 1981. This
game can also be played on a mobile phone. The objective of this game is
to shoot the asteroids that come down the screen and score points. There
are big and smallasteroids. Small asteroids break when you first shoot them,
and big asteroids break into small asteroids. You have 5 lives and if you get
hit by an asteroid, you lose a live and some points.The more asteroids
you shoot, the more points you get. If a asteroid touches the ground, you
lose points. The object is to get a high score.


**********************************
2. General Things to know
**********************************
Although Astrosmash isn't a hard game, here are general things you need
to know:

Here is the scoring system:

Points:

####################
Other Things to know
####################

You get 5 lives to see how many asteroids you can shoot down. Once you get
more points, asteroids come down faster. Once a asteroid hits you, you
lose a live.


**********************************
3. Tips/Strategies
**********************************

Here are some tips and strategies for beating Astrosmash.

1. Shoot as many asteroids as you can without getting hurt.

2. Be aware of big asteroids because when you shoot them, they split
into small ones.

3. Try shooting the white looking UFO things, they give you a lot of
points.

4. Try to get little asteroids first, then shoot big asteroids.

5. While you are shooting, make sure you don't get hit by
any asteroids, or you will lose a live and a lot of points.

6. The more points you get, the faster the asteroids will come down.

7. The more points you get, the more big asteroids come down.

8. Score as much points as you need to get a high score.

9. Go at a steady speed to get as many asteroids as you can.

10. The asteroids thatare smaller get faster as you progress.

11. The homing missiles spread out as you move along. As you move along, make
sure you spread out hte missiles.

Here is a horrbile ASCII by me of how the game screen will look like. This
isn't my best artwork and will do for now:


                @   |         *       @

*
@     Little Asteroid -> *       @        |          @ <- Big Asteroid

    Bullets   -> |           |

                       /\ <- Tank
       *               --
------------------------------------------------

NOTE: The color of the asteroid does not affect the score.
