                                   Amidar
                                   ======

Amidar is a Classic Arcade game from the 1980s. It is a Pacman variant,
even though it looks nothing like it.

It runs under ION on the TI83 and TI83+.

The player is a roller on the game board, which is a grid with dots on it.
The object of the game is to fill in all the areas of the grid. An area is
filled in when all the dots on its border are eaten. When you fill in the
whole grid, you get a harder level (faster, more bad guys).

It's simpler than I make it sound.

The grid won't fit on the whole screen, so it scrolls vertically.

There are bad guys wandering the grid ; you have to avoid these. If you can't,
pressing the "Jump" button makes them briefly jump and you can dodge them.
You have a limited number of jumps.

There are also bonuses to be collected ; it's meant to be a pot of paint.
You get 500 points for this.

The top line is : the score, the number of jumps, lives you have left.
