- OBJECTIVE
-
- The objective of Bolo Box is to flip all the tiles on the game
- board back to the color gray in as few moves as possible.
-
-
- GAME PLAY
-
- Select one of 50 puzzles by pressing the <S>elect Puzzle key. The
- puzzle will load itself onto the game board. A yellow square will
- be located in the upper left hand corner of the board. Use the
- <Arrow Keys> to move the marker to the desired place on the board
- where you want to flip the tiles. To mark that tile, press the
- <Spacebar> key. This will turn the yellow marker to green.
-
- If you make a mistake and want to un-mark the tile, then press
- the <Spacebar> again.
-
-
- To designate the direction of the flips, press the <Arrow keys>
- either: Up / Down / Right / left.
-
- Starting at that tile, the other tiles in that row or column
- will flip over to the opposite color (Red or Gray).
-
-
-
- SOLVING PUZZLE
-
- On the left side of the screen, the computer will tell you how
- many moves you have to solve the puzzle. If you solve the puzzle
- in that many moves or less, the computer will consider the puzzle
- solved and it will be recorded as * Solved * in the Status Box.
-
-
- OPTIONS / KEYS
-
- All key designations are shown at the bottom of the screen at all
- times. By pressing the <O>ption key, you get the following.
-
- <T>oggle Sound (On/Off)
- <S>olutions (Puzzles 1 - 10 only)
- <G>ames by Soleau Software.

-
- SOLUTIONS
-
- In this Shareware version of Bolo Box, we have provided solutions
- to the first 10 puzzles. By pressing the <O>ption key and then
- selecting <S>olutions, you will see how the computer solves the
- current puzzle on the game board.
-
- Bolo Box puzzles get harder as you go along. You don't have to
- solve them in order, but by trying out the first one or two, you
- can get an idea how the game is played.

-
- * NOTE WINDOWS USERS *
-
- Running Bolo Box from Windows may cause unexpected results. The
- game should be played by loading it directly from the Dos prompt.
