- <p>Logic Squares brings traditional word logic puzzles/problems to the Pocket PC.</p>
-
- <p> </p>
-
- <p>In traditional logic puzzles, you might have to find who lived in what house,
- what the color of the house was and where it was located in relation to the
- other houses. The object of Logic Squares is to determine the location of 9
- colors in a 3 x 3 grid by reading and then interpreting the clues. </p>
-
- <p> </p>
-
- <p> Here the
- computer will generate an unlimited number of puzzles and then randomly present
- the clues for you to solve the puzzle. There are three different levels ranging
- from easy to hard. </p>
-
- <p> </p>
-
- <p> To get a better understanding of the game you might want to select a
- game
- and then Game/Solve to
- see a correct solution. Then compare the solution with the clues found in the
- clue box at the bottom of the screen. </p>
-
- <p> </p>
-
- <p>To start a new puzzle, select File and then one of the levels. </p>
-
- <p> </p>
- <p>You will see nine groups of nine colors each arranged in a 3 x 3 grid. Below
- these squares you will see five clues in the clue box.</p>
- <p> </p>
-
- <p>To play, read the first clue and try to eliminate some locations for colors.
- For instance, if the clue reads 'yellow is immediately to the right of red', you
- will know than yellow cannot be anywhere in the first column, nor can red be
- anywhere in the right hand column. So then you would tap on the yellow squares
- in the first column and red in the last column to mark them with an 'N' for
- 'no'. If you
- change your mind, you can tap a square again to change it back to a blank. </p>
-
- <p> </p>
-
- <p> When
- you have determined the location of a particular color, you can mark it a 'yes'
- by double tapping on the color. The whole block of 9 squares will change to that
- color. If you have made a mistake, you can double tap it again to reverse the
- process. </p>
-
- <p> </p>
-
- <p>When you are ready for a new clue, tap on Clue on the menu. This will add a
- new clue to the list. You may also double tap on a clue in the box to mark that
- you have used this clue. </p>
-
- <p> </p>
-
- <p>Continue in this fashion until you have correctly determined the location of
- the nine colors. Your score is based on the time of
- completion times the number of clues you have used. </p>
-
- <p> </p>
-
- <p>While playing the game, you may start over or solve the
- puzzle using the commands from the Game Menu. </p>
-
- <p> </p>
-
- <p>From the Options Menu, you may change the background color, view the high
- scores for each level or reset the high scores. </p>
