Introduction:  Catch the Pi ia a game written in  Basic 
language for the TI-83.  It will work on both the TI-83
and the TI-83 plus.  Included in the zip  file are three 
files; cage.8xp, cage.83p, and readme.txt.


How to install:  In order to install this program you 
must have a Texas Instruments Graph Link to connect the 
calculator to you computer, as well as 815 available 
bytes of memory.  If you are using a TI-83 plus 
send the file cage.8xp to you calculator.  If you are
using a TI-83 send cage.83p.  Once the file is on your
calculator run it by selecting "cage" from your program
menu.


How to play single Player:  After the title screen comes 
up, press enterand select 1.  Next select a difficulty 
level; Easy, Medium, or Hard. You will then be returned
to the title screen, press any key to proceed.  Your 
curser will be represented by an astrix (*).  You will 
also see a number in the corner of your screen.  This 
number represents the number of turns you have 
remaining.  Finaly you will see a pi symbol.  The 
goal of the game is to move your * so that it is on top 
of the pi.  However, the pi moves once for every turn 
you take.  To move your * around simply use the arrow 
keys, each move will take up one turn.  If you wish to 
use a turn with out moving, press any key other than 
"on" or the arrows.  You can quit at any time by 
pressing "on".

 
How to play two player:  You can also play against an 
opponent with a Link Cable.  Connect two TI-83's (or 83 
Plus, it dosn't matter) firmly with the cable.  Both 
calculators must have either of the cage programs. To 
start you both must run the program, and select 2 
players. You will both be returned to the title screen. 
When you are both ready you can start playing the exact 
way you did in single player.  There is no turn limit, 
and it dosn't matter who wins in less turns, what 
matters is who wins fastest overall.  So if I have only 
taken two turns, while you have taken 15, but you catch 
the pi before I do, you will win.
