You are a small green ball sitting in a grid full of obstacles. Your
aim is to collect all the gems without running into any mines.
You can move the ball in any orthogonal \e{or diagonal} direction.
Once the ball starts moving, it will continue until something stops
it. A wall directly in its path will stop it (but if it is moving
diagonally, it will move through a diagonal gap between two other
walls without stopping). Also, some of the squares are \q{stops};
when the ball moves on to a stop, it will stop moving no matter what
direction it was going in. Gems do \e{not} stop the ball; it picks
them up and keeps on going.
Running into a mine is fatal. Even if you picked up the last gem in
the same move which then hit a mine, the game will count you as dead
rather than victorious.
This game was originally implemented for Windows by Ben Olmstead
\k{bem}, who was kind enough to release his source code on request
so that it could be re-implemented for this collection.

You can move the ball in any of the eight directions using the
numeric keypad. Alternatively, if you click the left mouse button on
the grid, the ball will begin a move in the general direction of
where you clicked.
All the actions described in \k{common-actions} are also available.
In particular, if you do run into a mine and die, you can use the
Undo function and resume playing from before the fatal move. The
game will keep track of the number of times you have done this.
