-------------

- MathLib.prc
NOTE: HiRes CLIE users must disable Hi-Res Assist in the "Prefs" application for proper
operation.
Description:
-----------
Steer your car past your opponents, gaining the most points for staying in high gear,
and avoiding crashes. A perfect race yields 150 "lap counts", but attaining over 120
"lap counts" means you are an awesome driver! Can you score over 120?
Hint: Different gears make the opponents' cars travel at certain speeds. Eventually you
will come to realize which of the gears to be in at the right times to ensure as much
high-gear driving as possible!
Usage:
------
1. Push start (To Do) at the title screen to begin.
2. Use the Datebook and Address keys to steer your car, and the up and down
buttons to switch gears as you drive.
3. Keep an eye on the timer at the top right. When the timer needle returns to the
12 o'clock position, the race is over.
4. When you have scored 50 lap counts, "Go Turbo!" mode is enabled. When and if you
are ready, you may press the "To Do" button to engage "Turbo Play". You will score
bonus (2x) lap counts and travel at Turbo Speed during "Turbo Play"!
5. "Turbo Play" will continue until you a) disable it by pressing the "To Do" button once
again, or b) crash into an opponent car.
6. Press To Do to start another race, or Memo to abandon the current race and restart.
Hint: To control the volume or mute the sound, go to the general tab in the Palm
Prefs application, and adjust the Game Sound setting.
Hint: To get the most out of "Turbo Play" mode, only engage when you are in a good
position to do so. Staying between 1st and 2nd gear and switching to 3rd only
when you have the room to do so will ensure a breezy "Turbo" experience.
Hint: Don't be afraid to err on the side of caution and disengage "Turbo Mode" before
you hit an opponent's car. Its better to "chicken out" and leave "Turbo Mode" than
to lose valuable time by "wiping out" and crashing into an opponent!
