- OVERVIEW
- --------
- SIMPLE SIMON'S PHOTO SCRAMBLE combines the best features of
- tile puzzles and pattern memorization games into a exciting
- mental challenge.
-
- SIMPLE SIMON'S PHOTO SCRAMBLE can be used by all -- both
- young and old. There are three separate games in all --
- each with a very different twist, each presenting a
- different test.
-
- As you continue to play SIMPLE SIMON's PHOTO SCRAMBLE,
- you'll find that your ability to handle increased puzzle
- complexity and longer pattern sequences will improve.
-
- Because SIMPLE SIMON'S PHOTO SCRAMBLE can accommodate puzzle
- scrambles up to 99 moves and pattern sequences up to 30
- moves in length, it will continue to challenge even the move
- demanding player as they continue improving.
-
- GAME ONE: SIMPLE SIMON SCRAMBLE
- -------------------------------
- The objective of this game is to unscramble a photograph
- with pieces that have been scrambled by the computer.
-
- Initially, you will be asked to select a photograph and a
- number from 5 to 99.
-
- Upon your selection, the photograph you selected will be
- scrambled with that number of moves.
-
- Thus, if you select a higher number, the difficulty of
- restoring the photograph to its original configuration will
- be harder than if you select a lower number.
-
- You will be allowed to manipulate individual puzzle pieces
- using the keyboard arrow keys -- i.e., up, down, right, and
- left.
-
- When the blank square is located along the puzzle edges or
- in the corners, keystrokes that would call in pieces outside
- of the puzzle are disabled.
-
- When the photograph has been unscrambled back to its
- original configuration, the computer will notify you that
- the game has been successfully completed.
-
-
- GAME TWO: FOLLOW THE LEADER
- ----------------------------
- The objective of this game is to move puzzle pieces
- following the same pattern as the computer.
-
- Initially, the computer will move only one puzzle piece and
- then turn control over to you.
-
- As soon as the puzzle piece is redrawn and the computer
- beeps, move that same piece in the same direction that the
- computer did using the arrow keys -- i.e., up, down, right,
- or left.
-
- If you move the correct puzzle piece, the computer will add
- another move to its sequence, challenging you again to
- follow its sequence.
-
- Thereafter, each time you successfully enter the right
- sequence of puzzle piece moves, the computer will add one
- more to its sequence.
-
- If you hit the wrong key (or take more than 10 seconds
- between moves), the computer will display the number of
- moves contained in the last sequence that you successfully
- entered.
-
- GAME THREE: REVERSE DO AS I DO
- -------------------------------
- The objective of this game is to move back puzzle pieces in
- exactly the reverse order that the computer moves them.
-
- Initially, the computer will move only one puzzle piece and
- then turn control over to you.
-
- When the puzzle is scrambled and the computer beeps, you
- must return the puzzle piece to its original position using
- the arrow keys -- i.e., up, down, right, or left.
-
- If you correctly move the puzzle piece, the computer will
- add another move to its sequence, challenging you to exactly
- reverse its extended sequence.
-
- Each time you successfully enter the right reverse
- sequence of moves, the computer will add one more move
- to its sequence.
-
- If you hit the wrong key (or take more than 10 seconds
- between moves), the computer will display the number of
- moves contained in the last sequence that you successfully
- entered.
