So...If you're reading this...we didn't do a very good job at teaching you
all you needed to know to enjoy the game. It's difficult knowing what to
tell you and what to let you figure out for yourself. The purpose of this
topic is to help you get your bearings in the game when all else fails.
We will attempt to do this by making several statements concerning the
game. Some of the statements may seem obvious to you immediately
while other statements will only seem obvious later because of 20-20
hindsight. Some of the statements will tell you to go find information
elsewhere. The rest of the statements will be pointing out observations
that you could make yourself...but you may be overlooking.
We recommend that these statements be read a page at a time or until
you no longer feel lost. You can always return later. Click Next Page
to continue your journey.

There are 4 cursor/pointer types. The GAME cursor which is "The Little
White Guy With ~c1~RED~c15~ Eyes" is active on the worm board. The ARROW
cursor is active on all control objects (all the BUTTONS). The HAND
cursor is used on all the GAPWAR puzzles. Lastly there is the EMPTY
cursor whenever you are not on an object.
Before reading any further in "I'm Lost", we suggest that you read the
"Overview", "WORM", "GAPWAR" and "QUANTUM" help.

In WORM puzzles, the next piece to be placed is located in the NEXT
TILE box. The ~c6~GREY~c15~ bricks that disappear after the first click tell
you which pattern to use.
There are many basic patterns in the WORM puzzles. Three are very
important patterns: AROUND THE WORLD(A-0), CLOVER LEAF(C-0),
and BRAIDED-X(D-0). They are used repeatedly in the lower games.
When all else fails, try one of these patterns to see if it helps.
