<p> </p>
<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>
