-
- Long Descrip: "Order Out Of Chaos" shows the player a picture which has been
- broken up into 48 tiles and then mixed up. With the picture in
- this chaotic state, two random tiles switch places every half
- second. The player tries to restore the picture to an orderly
- state by clicking on a tile whenever it appears at or near the
- spot where it belongs.
-
- A game consists of ten such puzzles. The first time a game is
- tried, the player will take about 10 minutes to solve each
- puzzle, for a total of two hours of play. In subsequent attempts,
- the player will improve his or her time and make fewer errors,
- resulting in a higher score.
-
- OOOC is a pleasant way to spend a few minutes or a few hours.
