The object of the game is to fill the board with coloured pieces. Once this has been done the player with the greatest numbers of pieces is the winner.

1. A move is accomplished by jumping your opponents adjacent piece by one of yours. You cannot move if a space in the path chosen is occupied by one of your pieces. You can jump several of your opponent's pieces if they are in the same row diagonal or column (any straight line).
    
   You must land on a vacant space. A move is legal when after the move your pieces will bound your opponent's piece(s). When this occurs your opponent's pieces will be flipped to your colour.
2. If a player cannot make a legal move, then the player must pass.
3. You cannot jump an empty space.
4. A piece may "bound" an opponent's piece as a result of a move in a direction other than the original move.
5. The game pieces are coloured green and red. Prompting for moves is by the colour of the "move" request as displayed on the screen.

Flipper is a game of advanced strategy and planning. Don't expect to beat your computer until you have developed your skill - since the computer can evaluate possible moves much faster than you can. Note: For beginners, let the computer play itself for a few games and just watch the moves and try to anticipate the next move.
