Hi, I'm Woody Tigerbaum. 

You may know me from my incredibly successful Interplanetary Package
Delivery service.

I've recently purchased a large number of marble manufacturing
factories, and I'm confident that whether you're in the market for
allies, swirlies, aggies, peewees, steelies, immies, or (my favorite),
tiger eyes - if you need MARBLES, you need to go to Woody Tigerbaum's
Marble Factory.




DEPENDENCIES:

You might need to install some of these before running the game:

  Python:     http://www.python.org/
  PyGame:     http://www.pygame.org/
  PyOpenGL:   http://pyopengl.sf.net/



RUNNING THE GAME:

If you downloaded a binary version (EXE for windows, APP for Mac), you
can simply run the application.


Otherwise, if you downloaded a source version:


If you are most comfortable with the Windows Explorer or Mac OS X
Finder, locate the "run_game.pyw" file and double-click it.

Otherwise open a terminal / console and "cd" to the game directory and
run:

  python run_game.py



HOW TO PLAY THE GAME:

Move the cursor around the screen with the mouse.

Press the left mouse button to twist the tubes. Clicking between two
straight tubes will create a twist between those two tubes. Clicking
again on the twist will straighten them back up again.

Each crate wants a certain number of colored balls, as indicated by
the colored stickers. Twist the tubes to direct the balls into the
correct crates.

White balls match any colored sticker. Black balls count AGAINST you,
increasing the counts required for that crate.


KEYBOARD TOGGLES:
ESC - pauses the game
S   - toggles sound
M   - toggles music
Y   - inverts the mouse Y
C   - turns on 'extra contrast' patterns (especially for color-blind
      users)
1-9 - for characters with more than one set of voice assets, you can
      select your favorite voice artist with the number key - just
      like radio presets!

 Twisted Tubes - It is not a truck!

 It is not a big truck; it's a series of tubes!
