Introduction
------------
Smuggers is a full-featured arcade game for Symbian OS v3-6
(Epoc Release 3-6).

Try to escape from the Smuggers elephant monsters walking and
jumping in many different mazes. You can lose jumps while
touching the Spider, but after eating almost all of the points of
the maze, the Spider will start blinking. Then you will have 10
seconds to catch the Spider and pass to another level and maze.
Are you skilful enough ?

Memory usage
------------
After the installation of Smuggers, the files in the directory
"..\System\Apps\Smuggers" and "..\System\Help\Smuggers.hlp" take 312 KB.

The "Art" directory has the optional files "Splash.mbm", "PIQlogo.mbm"
and "HiScores.mbm", with artistic drawings. If deleted, the splash
screen will not be displayed, and no graphics will be shown with the
high scores. Without them, you can save 167 KB.

Maze details
------------
Smuggers v1.30 has 50 mazes, placed in the directory
"..\System\Apps\Smuggers\Mazes\".

The file format is the MBM (EPOC Picture) format, using 37 rows
and 21 lines with 4 gray levels mode.

It is possible to add new mazes, and Smuggers will read the
number of MBM files in this directory as the number of mazes. The
format of the filename is "MazeN.mbm" (N=1...9), or "MazeNN.mbm"
(N=10...99), or even "MazeNNN.mbm" (N=100...999).
Yes, Smuggers supports a maximum of 999 mazes !

The maze files must be in sequence order, i.e., if there are 50
mazes then the filenames begin with "Maze1.mbm" and end with
"Maze50.mbm".

Then you are free to create new mazes, modify them, etc.

A forthcoming version of Smuggers will have a maze manager to :
reorder mazes, delete, insert, etc.
