1) What is Krazy ball?

'Krazy ball' is a DOS based mouse enabled game in which you bounce a ball with a paddle to break bricks. It was written in c++ during my holidays. I got the idea from DXball. If you have suggestions or comments send an email to johndavis@eth.net

2) Is it free?

Yes. This game is free so you can give it to your friends but without asking for a fee. It should contain this readme file also. It should not be used for commercial gain.

3) How do I play it?

This can be played with the mouse. From the menu choose the option of your choice. 

If you choose PLAY a new game starts. Click the mouse to release the ball and break the bricks. Some bricks need to be knocked more than one time to break. Various goodies will fall from the bricks. Information about these goodies is in INFO option. Escape exits the game. Pressing F5 or F6 when a goodie is falling changes the goodie (cheat)

Hi Score will need a file kball.his in the current directory or it will make a new one. It will overwrite files named kball.his without prompting. If the hiscore file is corrupted or you want to reset the hiscores, just delete or move away the "KBALL.HIS" file.

LOAD allows you to load a level file to play. Level files of Krazy ball have .KBL extension. If you do not have the level files in the current directory, you should copy the files to the directory. 

You can make new levels using LEVEL option. Make a level by clicking on the grid and pressing a key (1-9), (a-z)(small),(A-O)(capital),etc.
Any other key e.g. 0 removes the current brick. Save as level1 or any other name. It will overwrite files without prompting. If you save as 
level1 it will become the first level of the game and so on.
