See if you can get the highest score!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sevenson.com.au/content/uploads/2009/05/icon1.jpg"><img src="http://www.sevenson.com.au/content/uploads/2009/05/icon1.jpg" alt="" title="Marble Buster Icon" width="250" height="190" class="alignright size-full wp-image-551" /></a>Marble Buster is an odd game.  It is simple in its requirements but requires planning in order to achieve high scores.</p>
<p>You start off with a board full of randomly coloured marbles. When you click on a group of two or more matching colours, they disappear, and the grid collapses to fill the gaps.  The bigger the group you match, the more points you earn.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s simple but pretty addictive.</p>

<h3>Instructions:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Use your mouse to select a set of marbles (two or more adjoinging marbles of the same colour). You will be given an indication of how many points they are worth.</li>
<li>Click that group again and they will disappear.</li>
<li>The remaining marbles will collapse to fill the gaps. First they will drop straight down, and then they will slide right to fill any gaps.</li>
<li>Everytime the left most column is empty, new marbles will be added to the board.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sevenson.com.au/content/uploads/2009/05/icon.jpg"><img src="http://www.sevenson.com.au/content/uploads/2009/05/icon.jpg" alt="" title="Jigsaw Puzzle Icon" width="250" height="190" class="alignright size-full wp-image-547" /></a>This is basically a digital representation of a traditional jigsaw puzzle. Like all jigsaws the aim of the game is to re-assemble all of the puzzle pieces until you have the final image.<br />

<h3>Instructions:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Use your mouse to drag and drop pieces to the correct positions.</li>
<li>Use the left and right arrow keys to rotate the current piece whilst you are dragging it.</li>
<li>When pieces are aligned correctly they will snap together to become one piece.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="download">Graphics Download:</h3>
<p>When this game was being created it was hard to find a free graphic of a jigsaw puzzle on the web. I ended up creating my own by scanning an actual jigsaw puzzle and then tracing the pieces myself.</p>
<p>So you don&#8217;t have to go through the same trouble, below are the links for my jigsaw puzzle shapes:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.sevenson.com.au/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=1" title="Downloaded 219 times">Jigsaw Puzzle Outlines - EPS</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.sevenson.com.au/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=2" title="Downloaded 220 times">Jigsaw Puzzle Outlines - JPG</a></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="custom">Build your own online jigsaw puzzle:</h3>
<p>I&#8217;ve added the ability for anyone to create their own puzzle to play and share online. All you need is an image and an email address and you will be on your way.</p>

<p>You play as a frog, sitting on the side of the pond.  As bugs fly over your head you use your tongue to catch as many as you can.  To keep things interesting, there is a timer counting down the whole time.  Every time you catch 10 bugs, you get a little bit more time.</p>
<p>The longer you last, the harder the bugs are to catch, and the more points you get.</p>
<p>See if you can get the highest score!<br />
