/ START SCREEN /////
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
At the Start Screen, all you have to do is choose (click on) what
type of game that you want to play. Either PRESET or MIX-IT.
At the Top Center of the screen there is a QUIT button, just click
on it to Quit the game. You can also press Alt+F4 at any time to
Quit the game.

/ HOW TO PLAY /////
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
The object of the game is to solve the Rings so that the Center
portion, from where the 2 rings intersect, are all Green Marbles and
the Left part of the left ring is all Blue Marbles [or all red] and
the Right part of the right ring is all Red Marbles [or all blue].
So you can solve the rings with:
( 11 Blue (12 Green) 11 Red )
--OR--
( 11 Red (12 Green) 11 Blue )
You rotate the Marbles in the Rings by clicking on the Arrows that
are in the middle of the rings. The Right arrows rotate the Marbles,
in the Right ring, in the direction that they're pointing to. And
the Left arrows rotate the Marbles, in the Left ring, in the
direction that they're pointing to. So here's the directions that
the Marbles rotate:
--The TOP LEFT ARROW will rotate the Marbles, in the Left ring, in a
CLOCKWISE direction.
--The BOTTOM LEFT ARROW will rotate the Marbles, in the Left ring, in
a COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction.
--The TOP RIGHT ARROW will rotate the Marbles, in the Right ring, in
a COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction.
--The BOTTOM RIGHT ARROW will rotate the Marbles, in the Right ring,
in a CLOCKWISE direction.
By placing the Mouse Pointer over an Arrow, it will show you a
small animation of how the Marbles rotate, under the Mouse Pointer.
If you don't want to use the Mouse to play the game, you can also
use 7, 8, 4 and 5 on the Number Pad.
--By pressing 7 (on the Number Pad), the Marbles in the Left ring
will rotate in a CLOCKWISE direction.
--By pressing 4 (on the Number Pad), the Marbles in the Left ring
will rotate in a COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction.
--By pressing 8 (on the Number Pad), the Marbles in the Right ring
will rotate in a COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction.
--By pressing 5 (on the Number Pad), the Marbles in the Right ring
will rotate in a CLOCKWISE direction.
!!!!NOTE!!!!
If you're using the Number Pad for playing the game, Keep the Mouse
Pointer OFF of the Arrows. If the Mouse Pointer is on one of the
Arrows, then the Number Pad #'s will be disabled.

/ MIX-IT MODE /////
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
In the MIX-IT Mode, you set a # (up to 99) and the Rings will
mix. Then you can try and solve them. Here's how it works:
In the bottom right of the game screen you will see a Plus and
Minus button. Left click on the Plus button to add 1 to the
counter, Left click on the Minus button to subtract 1 from the
counter. If you Right click on the Plus button, it will add 10
to the counter, and if you Right click on the Minus button, it
will subtract 10 from the counter.
Once you're determined the # of times you want to rings to mix,
then at the Top Right of the game screen, click on the MIX-IT
button to start mixing. While the Rings are mixing, the MIX-IT
button will turn to a STOP button. Click on it when it says STOP
to stop the rings from mixing.
Once the Rings have mixed, now you can try and solve them.
--When the Rings are Mixed up a RESET button will appear at the
center of the Rings. If you click on it, the Rings will reset
back to normal (( 11 Blue (12 Green) 11 Red )).
____________________
/ PRESET MODE /////
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
In the PRESET Mode, you select a Puzzle (1-99) and try to
solve it within a given # of moves. Here's how it works:
In the bottom right of the game screen you will see a Plus and
Minus button. Left click on the Plus button to add 1 to the
Puzzle #, Left click on the Minus button to subtract 1 from the
Puzzle #. If you Right click on the Plus button, it will add 10
to the Puzzle #, and if you Right click on the Minus button, it
will subtract 10 from the Puzzle #.
Once you've determined what Puzzle you would like to play, you
now have to try and solve it within the # of moves shown at the
Top Right of the game screen.
At any time when you're playing a Puzzle, you can click on the
RESET button, that's at the center of the rings, to reset the
puzzle back to normal.
When you Solve a puzzle it will tell you that you've solved it
by saying 'PUZZLE COMPLETED' at the right of the game screen.
Now when you select a Puzzle (with the + and - buttons) and you
choose one that you've already solved, it will say 'PUZZLE
COMPLETED' at the right of the game screen, so you don't have to
try and solve it again.
