To re-create a model, using eight shapes which can rotate. Just for fun. There is no competition, no time limit, no highest score table, just a little music that says that the model has been re-created correctly. One can make the game easier or harder. The shapes are harder to find in the model ,when the grid is removed. Correcting can be done along the way using the correcting grid. A green dot in the corresponding square, shows that the shape is in the right place and position, a red dot means you r choice is the wrong one. To decide the degree of difficulty, choose the item ‘Help’ in the ‘Options’ menu.

It is common using System 7 or Multifinder, that children click outside of the game window and switch back to the finder.This does not occur on the 512x384 pixels (12” screen) and on the 640 x480 pixels (13” and 14” screens) . In this case, leave the ‘unmoveable’ option on.
On bigger screens, the ‘background window’ avoids accidental clicks that will switch back to the finder. The window can be ‘moveable’ or ‘unmoveable’.Recentering occurs automatically if the ‘unmoveable’ option is chosen.
In System 7, activate the balloon help, for more information on the menus and windows.
