	Swell Foop is a puzzle game, of which the objective is to clear 
	the window of as many pieces as possible by clicking on groups 
	of the same colored pieces. That group will vanish and the 
	pieces on top will fall until there are none left or no more 
	color groups.

    <para lang="en"><application>Swell Foop</application> is a puzzle game. The goal is to remove as many objects as possible in as few moves as possible. Objects that are adjacent to each other get removed as a group. The remaining objects then collapse to fill in the gaps and new groups are formed. You cannot remove single objects.</para>

    <para>El tauler s'inicia amb una graella plena d'objectes. Segons la mida del tauler que seleccioneu, hi haurà tres o quatre objectes diferents. Si teniu un grup d'objectes i tots són del mateix tipus, llavors el podeu treure amb un simple clic amb el ratolí sobre ells (o si premeu la barra espaiadora). Quan moveu el ratolí sobre d'un grup que podeu treure, els objectes començaran a moure's. Com més objectes tingui el grup, més punts guanyareu. Quan s'hagi tret el grup, els objectes sobre seu cauran per a omplir l'espai. Si es treu una columna sencera, llavors els objectes lliscaran cap a l'esquerra per a omplir el forat.</para>

    <title>Estratègia</title>

    <para>La regla més important quan intenteu obtenir una puntuació alta és pensar per avançat: cada grup que treieu crearà i desfarà altres grups.</para>

<para>Primer treieu els grups superiors, a no ser que si treieu un altre grup es faci més gran. Els objectes alineats verticalment no es poden desalinear, però els horitzontals sí.</para>

    <para>Com que la puntuació s'incrementa de forma quadràtica, els millors grups d'objectes sempre són els grans. Per exemple, la diferència de punts entre un grup de sis objectes i un de set objectes és de nou punts. En una situació on heu de triar entre ajuntar dos grups de dos en un de quatre o només afegir-ne un altre al grup de sis, llavors hauríeu d'afegir un objecte. Tot i que els grups de dos que heu deixat no puntuen, el grup gran puntua més que tot junt.</para>

    <para>No oblideu la bonificació de mil punts per a netejar totes les boles. Per a obtenir 1000 punts d'un grup necessiteu 34 objectes. És molt poc probable que es doni la situació on heu de sacrificar un grup tant gran per a netejar el tauler.</para>
