MANGA HOT NUMBERS

HOW TO PLAY

MHN is a simple puzzle game  which  can  be played against a
human opponent or the computer.  The aim is to progressively
discover a picture that  lurks  behind  a matrix build up by
numbers ranging from -11  to  11;  the  matrix can be either

 8*10 or 16*20.

You can decide to play  horizzontally  or  vertically; since
vertically there are  more  numbers,  this  would give you a
little advantage.

Every time you select a number  from the matrix, it is added
or subctracted to you  score;  note  that  if there are, for
example, three '11' in a  row  (or  in  a column, if you are
playing vertically) and you   select  one of them, the score
is increased by 33, or decreased, if the number is negative.
When there are no more  numbers,  or no more legal moves, if
your score  is  higher  then   your  opponent's  score,  the
picture is displayed in all its  glory, and the next picture
is loaded, otherwise you are given the option to retray with
the same picture if you total  score  (number of rounds won)
is equal or greater  than  your  opponent's  total score. If
not, you can restart  with  the  first  picture  or quit the
game.

All this may sound to  you  not  particularly  original, but
some time ago I got some  Manga  pics from a friend (thanks,
Alex!) and I did'n know what to do with them, until I seen a
game which used  the  same  method  to  display  some  girls
apparently allergic to dresses  (don't worry, these pics are
quite on the innocent side).
