---NOTE---   -If you are using the keyboard: 
1)  Remember that you don't have to hold the keys down
to steer the "painter".
 It is enough to once press a direction key  -and the "painter"
will  automaticly go in that direction next time it can!

2)  If you press a direction key and want to cancel it  
-just press the direction key you want to go instead!


------------------------------------- Origin ----------------------------------------
 This game is a variant of a game that was first seen on an
arcade-machine in the early 1980's.
 The original name is yet to be found, so send a mail if you know.
 Similar arcade games was called "Pepper 2" and "Amidar", but they
where quite different in gameplay. There has been variants of the
game on almost every homecomputer since.
