Game rules

You begin a game (or a level set) with three balls: a ball on the game field
and two spare balls. Hit the ball with the paddle until all bricks are
destroyed. If all balls slip from the game field, then a spare one is launched.
If no spare balls are left, the game (or the level set) is over. You score
points by destroying bricks, picking power-ups and completing levels. The
High Scores table keeps track of the best scores for all completed levels in
each level set.

Note 1. Every single level set has its own statistics - a score table and a
ball credit (number of spare balls) counter.

Note 2. You can complete the same level set multiple times - either to improve
your score or just for fun. ;)

Autosave/Checkpoints
Autosave:
Once a new level within a level set starts, the game automatically saves the
level, the score and the number of spare balls the player has. Thanks to this
feature, the player can suspend the current game (for example, close the
program or start another level set) and later resume that level set,
of course, if there are more than none spare balls.
Checkpoints:
When every tenth level within a level set is reached, the player gets the
opportunity to start this level set from that checkpoint. When starting the
game from a checkpoint, the player starts with the best score and the largest
number of spare balls (but not more than 2) the corresponding checkpoint was
reached with.

Description of Units.

[BRICK]
Bricks are the most essential elements of any level. There are three kinds of
bricks: single, double and triple. Two or more bricks can form a group.
Damaging a grouped brick damages the entire group.
[CORE]
This is a special type of brick. A CORE is immune to the ordinary ball
while it's surrounded by other bricks. But it can be destroyed by a ball with
the following power-ups applied: Disintegrator, Strikeball, Fireball or
Mine Blast. A bonus weapon, such as Railgun or Bomb, will destroy a CORE, too.
[REGENERATOR]
This is a special type of CORE that can recover the bricks surrounding it.
[MINE]
This is a special type of brick. A MINE blast can destroy up to 50 bricks.
[EXPLOSIVE BRICK]
This is a special type of brick. Its explosion destroys the adjacent bricks.
[RAILBRICK]
This is a special type of brick. It destroys units of all types, even if
they are behind a WALL.
[WALL]
This is an indestructible unit.
[SHADOW WALL]
This is a special type of WALL. Being hit by a ball, it lets other balls come
through for the next 10 seconds.
[BONUS GENERATOR]
This is a special unit. Being hit by a ball, it generates a bonus of a
given type. It needs 30 seconds to recover from every hit.
[TELEPORT]
This is a special unit. It sends a ball from one TELEPORT to another TELEPORT.
Teleports with the green centers act as entrances, with the red centers - as
