1] Brief History of Q-Bix -- I was rummaging through some boxes of my old stuff
    and I found my old and battered Rubik's Cube (I got it when they first came
    out in 1980, that's how old it is).  About after 20 minutes of tring to solve
    it, I booted up my computer to see if I could make one.  5 days later Q-Bix
    was finished.

2] Start Screen -- On this screen, click on one of the Cubes to to start playing.
    You can choose either a 2x2x2 Cube or a 3x3x3 Cube.

ЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛЋЛ

3] What's on the Cube screen
  -- At the top of the screen, it tells you if the Cube is 'Solved' or 'Mixed Up'.

  -- At the center of the screen is the Cube.

  -- At the Left, Bottom Left and Bottom Right of the Cube are Buttons with
      small red arrows on them.  They are used to Twist a portion of the Cube that
      the Buttons correspond to.

  -- At the Bottom of the screen, it tells you if you're viewing the 'Front' or
      'Back' of the Cube.  Press and hold the SPACEBAR to view the Back.

  -- At the Left of the screen is a Checkbox that activates the 'Arrow Guides'.
      When the Box it Checked, Transparent Arrows will be placed on the Cube (when
      the Mouse Curser is over a Button with a small red arrow) to show you what
      direction the portion of the Cube will twist to.

  -- At the Bottom Right of the screen is a 'Reset' button.  It is used to set the
      Cube back to normal (Solved).

  -- At the Right of the screen (above the Reset button) are the 'Mix It' button,
      + and - buttons and a Counter.  Use the + and - buttons to increase or decrease
      the counter (0-100).
    >> If you set the counter to 1-100, Click on the 'Mix It' button to make the Cube
        Twist X amount of times randomly (EX.  if you set the counter to 5 and click
        on 'Mix It', the Cube will Twist 5 times).
    >> If you set the counter to 0 and click on the 'Mix It' button, the Cube will
        Continue to Twist Randomly.  The 'Mix It' button changes to a 'STOP' button,
        Click on the 'STOP button to stop the Cube's Twisting.
