----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
					1. Installation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Plug your calculator into the computer. Double click on the zip file "Snake v5.0". Highlight the file "SNAKE.8xp". Right click on the file and select "Send to TI Device". Another window will come up with a button that says "Send to Device". Click this button and wait for it to finish. Unplug your calculator and run program SNAKE to play the game.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
					2. Memory
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	It is very important that when you run the game you have at least 4,600 bytes of RAM free. If you don't, a memory error will occur while playing the game. If at any time, while playing the game, you hit on the game will stop and a menu with the the tital of "ERROR: BREAK" will come up, your only option is to quit. If you break the program like this then some of your memory will be taken up by a list called "SNK". Either delete the list or just run program SNAKE again and quit and it will be erased and you'll have your memory back.

					3. Instructions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------Menus
	When you first start the game you'll see the title screen, press any key to move on. Then you come to the main menu. Once the circles are drawn, use the arrow keys to select an option. The option in the biggest font is the one selected. When you select an option the cirlce is first filled in and then the option is activated. When you play the game you must select the size of the playing area. Use the 1,2, and 3, key to do this (as shown).

-------------------------Playing the game	
	For those of you who already know snake, this version is true to the real game, your tail isn't endless, you actually get to grow your snake as you progress through the game. So far there isn't much that makes it difficult though, so I am still in the process of making the game harder.
	
-------------------------Size
	When you select "Start" from the main menu you will be given three options for the box size. This is the size of box which your snake must stay within.

-------------------------Playing the Game
	The object of the game is to get the highest score possible. To get points you must run your snake over the little dots that will appear inside of the box your snake is in. Every time your snake runs over a dot it grows 6 pixels (you start off with a 15 pixel snake) and you get 5 points. The game ends when your snake runs into a wall, itself, or you press CLEAR. If your snake grows 500 pixels long your snake will restart but you will still have your score. When moving your snake it automatically goes foward in whatever direction it's turned. To change its direction use the arrow keys.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
					4. Controls
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	
	Up arrow key 	- Turn snake up
	Down arrow key 	- Turn snake down
	Left arrow key 	- Turn snake left
	Right arrow key - Turn snake right
	CLEAR		- Quit game
	ENTER		- Pauses the game until enter is pressed again

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
					5. Version 5.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	This is currently the version 5.0. For those of you who didn't get 1.0, you are probably lucky. Although it was a good game it was really slo-o-o-o-o-w. One day I decided to quite worker on the difficulty of it and to just rewrite the game to see if I could get it to go faster. Here it is and it is almost as fast as the other games that are called "Snake" but are really tron games. Now that I've improved speed I will continue working on difficulty such as mines, walls that cave in, and obstacles.
