Changes from older versions
Crystal Caliburn version 3.0 is upgraded to be compatible with MacOSX. The following operations have been changed to fit the new style.
Mouse operation is not available after launching the program. To display the menu or pausing a game, use ESC key.
The input method has been changed in version 3.0. To input your name for a High Score record, use the keyboard instead of the flipper buttons.

Assign Extra Keys

You can rearrange the key assignment as you like. The original key setting will be also effective after changing key assignment. Dialog box will appear after choosing "Assign Extra Keys" from menu, enter any key to each field.
There is pair of SHIFT, CTRL, ALT for both side of keyboard and these key does not work independentry. For instance, if you assign left SHIFT for left flipper both left and right SHIFT keys will activate left flipper. Please assign your keys carefully.

Highscore

Crystal Caliburn stores four high score records with player names. If you hit a high score, program asks you to input your name after the game is over. Input operation uses the score window. You can choose alphabets with the left flipper button and the right flipper button.

The space bar enters the chosen alphabet character by character. Back space key deletes a character. Pressing mouse button exits the registration mode.
