Playing game:

The aim of game is to play as much
as possible, while there's empty
space on board. When board becomes
full of balls the game is over. 
During one game step you can move
one ball to any empty space available
from ball position. Ball can move
horizontally and vertically but not
by diagonal. If after move there's
line of one-color balls containing
as many balls as set in Get property
of Game Setup then these balls will
be removed from board and you'll
get some empty space. You can put 
vertical, horizontal or diagonal line
or even some of them together to remove
balls. If after your move no such 
lines found on board computer will put
some balls (as many as set in Put 
property of Game Setup) and you can
move another ball. This will continue
until there's empty places on board.
