Jeweled is a time passer.  The game can and will eventually have no 
matching jewels if you aren't careful.  If you clear jewels at the 
bottom first and pay less attention to the top, you can play forever 
and just go to beat your last high score.  That's about it... simple 
and fun.  If it was popular enough I was going to make a second 
version that had the puzzles in it, but too much is on the plate 
right now.  With the source, somebody else will probably expand on 
the game or take advantage of the sound and sprite routines in another game.
