		2. Instructions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deal or No Deal! is based on the NBC gameshow "Deal or No Deal". All gameplay is the same and it is very easy to learn.

---How to play Deal or No Deal
The object of the game is to walk away with as much money as possible. The game revolves around 26 cases each containing one of 26 amounts of money (see "3. Amounts" to see all 26 of them). Before the game begins, you choose one of the 26 cases to be your own. You do not see what is in the case though. Then you choose 6 of the 25 cases to open. The amount in the cases you choose are then discarded. Obviously, you do not have those amounts in your case, as all the amounts are different. The Amount Board will help you keep track of the amounts you have lost and the amounts still in the game. After choosing 6 cases to discard, the Banker will call. He is the one who pays you at the end and wants to pay you as little as possible. When he calls, he will offer you a sum of money. If you choose DEAL, and accept his money, the game is over and you win the amount he offered you. If you choose NO DEAL, gameplay continues but you choose only 5 cases to discard. After each banker offer, the amount of cases you must choose goes down by one. After you reach one it continues (at 1 case per turn) until only one case remains (not including yours). Once you reach this point, you will still get a deal, if you refuse the deal, then you can keep the case you have or switch with the last one. The amount in the case you end up with is the amount you win.

---Deal or No Deal (on the calculator)
My program DOND follows the same rules as the gameshow. Once you choose "Play" from the main menu, you will see "Loading Case:X" and once it reaches 26, the Choose Case screen will load. 25 cases will load and their number will appear in the middle of them. Your case will be put aside at the bottom right of the screen. The number of cases you have to choose will be displayed above your case in the lower right of the screen. You can use [2nd] or [ENTER] to open a case. After you open the case,the Open Case screen will come up. The case will appear and after a couple seconds, so will the amount. Press any key and then the Amount Board will appear. The amount that was in the case will be inverted (highlighted black). All the black amounts are ones you have discarded. Press any key after the Amount Board to go back to the Choose Case screen. You can press [ALPHA] to view the Amount Board from the Choose Case screen. After the certain amount of cases has been discarded, you will be offered the deal by the Banker. NO DEAL is automatically selected, use the arrow keys to move the arrow and select your choice (this is the same for selecting wether to keep or switch your case if you get to the end of the game). Once you finish the game (accepting a deal or reaching only one case left) your winnings will be displayed. If you got a new highscore it will also be displayed. After the screen with your winnings, the highscores will come up. The highscores shows your best 10 amounts of money won. The order is 1st to 5th from the top left to the bottom left, and 6th to 10th, from the top left, to the bottom left. To reset the highscores press [CLEAR] while viewing them. Press any key to go to the main menu. The highscores can also be viewed from the main menu.

		3. Amount Board
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Amount Board can be accessed by pressing ALPHA during the Banker's offer or while at the Choose Case screen. It will show every amount (26) in the game. Whenever you choose a case, the contents of it will be darkened on the Amount Board to show you which amounts are left in the cases but it will not show you which cases the amounts are in.

The 26 amounts in the game are:
.01
1
5
10
25
50
75
100
200
300
400

All of these amounts are in Dollars ($).
