have watched the show, tried to solve the puzzles, etc.  Well, now you have 
the chance to be IN the show.  Well, not really.  But you come close!  You 
get to participate with two other opponents.  Either computer, or human.

.::HOW TO PLAY::.

When it is your turn, you will have the option to:

Y Button - Spin the wheel
B Button - Buy a vowel(250$)
A Button - Solve the puzzle

If you choose to spin the wheel, it will switch to your character.  It will 
show your name, money won, and FREE SPINS if you have any.  There will be a 
blue bar moving back and forth.  The longer the bar, the more power in your 
spin.  Press the X button to stop the bar.

Press the X button, and it will stop the spinning quickly(but not right 
away).

You have 15-20 seconds to choose a letter.

If you choose a letter that is in the puzzle, it will highlight where the 
letter, or letters are, and Vanna White will turn them over.  Letters that 
have been chosen are removed from the list.  And, if you choose a correct 
letter, you will get to go again.

However, if you choose a wrong letter, you will lose your turn.

Some rounds have their own special rules.  These can be found below, under 
their specific round.  The most notable round that is different, is Round 
6: Bonus Round.  Or, better put, the winner round, in which the winner with 
most money, gets to play by themselves.

When solving a puzzle, you will have to spell out the entire puzzle.  It 
will start with the first unturned letter, then move in order, from left to 
right until the puzzle is solved, or you are incorrect.

.::ROUNDS::.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ROUND 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Player 1 goes first.

This round is very simple, as your only options are SPIN, BUY, and SOLVE.  

To buy a vowel, a player must have at least $250.

Not choosing fast enough, will result in the timer running out, and you 
losing your turn.

The money which can be won is low in this round.  Also, there is the risk 
of hitting BANKRUPT, and LOSE A TURN.  Both of which, are pretty self 
explanitory.  You might also land on FREE SPIN, which you can only get by 
selecting a consonant that is on the board.  


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ROUND 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Basically the same as round one.

In this round, a $1,500 space is added to the wheel.

Player 2 starts the second round(unless there is one player).


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ROUND 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The same as round 1 and 2 almost.

There is a $2,500 space added to the wheel in this round.

Player 3 starts this round if there are 3 players.  If there are 2, then 
player 1 starts this round.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ROUND 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The last of the "regular" rounds.  

A $5,000 space is added to the wheel.

Player 1 starts this round in a 3 player game.  In a 2 player game, player 
2 starts this round.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ROUND 5: SPEED-UP ROUND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this round, the wheel is spun for the contestants.  Whatever money value 
the wheel lands on, is the amount of money each letter is worth throughout 
the round(i.e. if the wheel lands on $200, each letter is worth $200, 
unless it is a vowel, or you solve the puzzle).

If you choose the correct letter, then you have to attempt to solve the 
puzzle.  If you fail, then the turn is passed to the next player.  

In the event of a tie, then this round is played over until there is a 
winner.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ROUND 6: BONUS ROUND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the final round for the winner.

You will go to a screen with the word WHEEL on it.  The letters will be 
blinking.  Press the X button to choose one of the letters.  This will be 
your prize if you win this round.

The game will give you the letters R, S, T, L, N, and E.  If they are in 
the puzzle, they will be revealed.

You now choose 3 more consonants, and one vowel.  Again, if the letters you 
chose are in the puzzle, they will be revealed.

You will then be given a short amount of time to solve the puzzle.  You do 
so by basically spelling out the word in order from left to right.  When 
you are finished move to END or press the A button to confirm you are done.

If you win, you get to see what was behind the letter you chose earlier.  
You do so, buy pressing the X button.

The game will now end, and you can press the X button to start a new game.
