| 5 | "\n" | ||
| 6 | "You are given a map consisting of a number of regions. Your task is " | ||
| 7 | "to colour each region with one of four colours, in such a way that " | ||
| 8 | "no two regions sharing a boundary have the same colour. You are " | ||
| 9 | "provided with some regions already coloured, sufficient to make the " | ||
| 10 | "remainder of the solution unique. " | ||
| 11 | "\n" | ||
| 12 | "Only regions which share a length of border are required to be " | ||
| 13 | "different colours. Two regions which meet at only one _point_ (i.e. " | ||
| 14 | "are diagonally separated) may be the same colour. " | ||
| 15 | "\n" | ||
| 16 | "I believe this puzzle is original; I've never seen an implementation " | ||
| 17 | "of it anywhere else. The concept of a four-colouring puzzle was " | ||
| 18 | "suggested by Owen Dunn; credit must also go to Nikoli and to Verity " | ||
| 19 | "Allan for inspiring the train of thought that led to me realising " | ||
| 20 | "Owen's suggestion was a viable puzzle. Thanks also to Gareth Taylor " | ||
| 21 | "for many detailed suggestions. " | ||
| 22 | "\n" | ||
| 23 | "\n#22.1 Map controls " | ||
| 24 | "\n" | ||
| 25 | "To colour a region, click the left mouse button on an existing " | ||
| 26 | "region of the desired colour and drag that colour into the new " | ||
| 27 | "region. " | ||
| 28 | "\n" | ||
| 29 | "(The program will always ensure the starting puzzle has at least one " | ||
| 30 | "region of each colour, so that this is always possible!) " | ||
| 31 | "\n" | ||
| 32 | "If you need to clear a region, you can drag from an empty region, or " | ||
| 33 | "from the puzzle boundary if there are no empty regions left. " | ||
| 34 | "\n" | ||
| 35 | "Dragging a colour using the _right_ mouse button will stipple the " | ||
| 36 | "region in that colour, which you can use as a note to yourself that " | ||
| 37 | "you think the region _might_ be that colour. A region can contain " | ||
| 38 | "stipples in multiple colours at once. (This is often useful at the " | ||
| 39 | "harder difficulty levels.) " | ||
| 40 | "\n" | ||
| 41 | "You can also use the cursor keys to move around the map: the colour " | ||
| 42 | "of the cursor indicates the position of the colour you would drag " | ||
| 43 | "(which is not obvious if you're on a region's boundary, since it " | ||
| 44 | "depends on the direction from which you approached the boundary). " | ||
| 45 | "Pressing the return key starts a drag of that colour, as above, " | ||
| 46 | "which you control with the cursor keys; pressing the return key " | ||
| 47 | "again finishes the drag. The space bar can be used similarly to " | ||
| 48 | "create a stippled region. Double-pressing the return key (without " | ||
| 49 | "moving the cursor) will clear the region, as a drag from an empty " | ||
| 50 | "region does: this is useful with the cursor mode if you have filled " | ||
| 51 | "the entire map in but need to correct the layout. " | ||
| 52 | "\n" | ||
| 53 | "If you press L during play, the game will toggle display of a number " | ||
| 54 | "in each region of the map. This is useful if you want to discuss a " | ||
| 55 | "particular puzzle instance with a friend - having an unambiguous " | ||
| 56 | "name for each region is much easier than trying to refer to them all " | ||
| 57 | "by names such as `the one down and right of the brown one on the top " | ||
| 58 | "border'. " | ||

| 79 | "modes, you will have to use increasingly complex logic to deduce " | ||
| 80 | "the colour of some regions. However, it will always be possible " | ||
| 81 | "without having to guess or backtrack. " | ||
| 82 | "\n" | ||
| 83 | "In `Unreasonable' mode, the program will feel free to generate " | ||
| 84 | "puzzles which are as hard as it can possibly make them: the " | ||
| 85 | "only constraint is that they should still have a unique " | ||
