OK guys I'll add in the help for the 1.0 version.

Until then here's how to play :

A valid move is made by jumping one ball over a ball in an ajoining square. 
The ball jumped is then removed from play.
Moves can only be made vertically and horizonally and not diagonally.

for example if we use O as a ball and _ as an empty square the basic board 
layout is (best viewed with a fixed-width font)

  OOO
  OOO
OOOOOOO
OOO_OOO
OOOOOOO
  OOO
  OOO

A valid opening move is

  OOO
  O_O
OOO_OOO
OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO
  OOO
  OOO

An other valid move is

  OOO
  O_O
OOOO__O
OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO
  OOO
  OOO

As you can see each more removes one ball from the board, the object of the 
game is to remove all but the last ball.

To make things a little more difficult you have to work it out so that the 
last ball lands on the cell with the sunken border.

I know English aren't either of your first languages, and I'm not a very 
good explainer anyway, so I've included some links to various sites on the 
game that may help.

I hope that helps until I get around to writting the help.
