Game

-What is the goal of the game?

To score more points than the opponent. Points are scored by running through all bases.
Baseball does not allow two team to tie a match. If both teams score the same amount of points after all innings, an extra inning is added until one of the teams scores at least one point more than the other at the end of the extra inning.

-When does an inning end?

When a team played both attack and defence.

-When does a team switch between attack and defence?

When three attacking players have been eliminated.

-How can I eliminate an attacking player?

With three strikes (strikeout), by taking the ball on the fly after it has been hit, bringing the ball on a base before the attacker reaches the base itself.

-What are strike, foul, ball, home run?

Strike is a valid launch not hit.
Foul is a ball hitten falling outside right/left playfield boundaries. A foul is a strike unless it is the third strike (a player cannot be striked out on a foul).
Ball is an external launch. After four ball the attacker gains one base. If the attacker tries to hit the ball but misses it, it is considered a strike.

Troubleshooting

-Why is the playfield always green?

Since some phone models have limitations about applet size we have been forced to cut synthetic field on such phones.

-I cannot hear any change in volume.

Not all phones support volume control.

-Sound isn't working.

Not all phones support audio. Check if you have enabled sound in java games on you phone menu.

-Vibration isn't working.

Not all phones support vibration control. Check if you have enabled vibration in java games on you phone menu.

-The game is slow when a sound is played.

Some phones aren't able to reproduce audio files on the fly with a decent latency.
It is possible to solve the problem by selecting volume off in options menu.

-The game crashes/stops.

Possible causes are many. By following some guidelines it could be possible to solve the problem:
It is suggested to have a recent firmware installed on the phone.
It is suggested to reset the phone before playing a game.
It is suggested to disable audio if the game still crashes/stops.

-The game is not installed or doesn't run.
