THE IDEA
_____________
Powerslide is a two player game on a single computer. The game consists of short
rounds where winning is all about timing and precision. In the beginning of each
round both players have equal number of balls that are moved by adding force
fields. To earn points either finish the slide first or leave the opponent's
balls far behind.


Moving the balls
  Move the balls by leaving force fields on the slide. A player can switch
  between pushing and pulling forces. The forces affect ALL balls on the board
  (also the opponent's) so think where you place them. A player can have just 3
  force fields at a time.

The players
  The players can be told from different colouring. Green color indicates player
  1 and red player 2. A player can change his/her force field between pulling and
  pushing forces. Next to the slide a text is shown indicating which one the
  player has currently selected.

Leaving the opponent behind
  Most rounds will end when the opponent is left behind. When balls are far
  enough from the first ball on the board, they will be erased. So even if you
  are winning keep up with your first ball to earn more points!

Points
  When the opponent's balls are left behind the winner gets points according to
  how many balls he/she has left. When a game ends by finishing the slide, the
  first player to finish the slide will get points from all his/her balls.
