### 1. Introduction

KJewel is a simple Tetris-like game for one player. The goal is to arrange falling jewels in a way, that jewels of matching color lie adjacent. If three Jewels of one color are in a row they disappear thus clearing the playfield. The game is lost if there is no more space left on the playfield for the falling jewels.

The original program was developed in 1993 for X and is called xjewel. This version for KDE is written entirely from scratch and does not contain any code-fragments of the original program.

Notice: The idea of the game was conceived by Yoshihiro Satoh of hp.
