A positive token is born with the tap of a finger on the screen
A pair of positive-negative tokens is born with a tap of two fingers on the screen
A token disappears if it crosses the top or bottom border.

Behavior:
Positive and negative tokens have the same behavior:
A token can cross at will the intermediate horizontal border
When a token crosses the border on the right it becomes 10 tokens.
A token need 9 companions from the old place to cross the border to the left.
Positive and negative tokens may be in the same place.
But if two tokens of different signs meet they cancel each other.

PLACES:
A place can contain tokens of the same or different sign.
The upper and the lower borders can be the external border or the intermediate border.
Tokens can cross freely the intermediate border.
If a token cross the external border disappears.
To get the permission to cross left borders a token needs 9 companions of the same sign.
A token recovers 9 companions if cross the right borders.
