| 6 | "Another sliding tile puzzle, visually similar to Fifteen (see " | ||
| 7 | "chapter 5) but with a different type of move. This time, there is no " | ||
| 8 | "hole: all 16 squares on the grid contain numbered squares. Your move " | ||
| 9 | "is to shift an entire row left or right, or shift an entire column " | ||
| 10 | "up or down; every time you do that, the tile you shift off the grid " | ||
| 11 | "re-appears at the other end of the same row, in the space you just " | ||
| 12 | "vacated. To win, arrange the tiles into numerical order (1,2,3,4 on " | ||
| 13 | "the top row, 13,14,15,16 on the bottom). When you've done that, try " | ||
| 14 | "playing on different sizes of grid. " | ||
| 15 | "\n" | ||
| 16 | "I _might_ have invented this game myself, though only by accident " | ||
| 17 | "if so (and I'm sure other people have independently invented it). I " | ||
| 18 | "thought I was imitating a screensaver I'd seen, but I have a feeling " | ||
| 19 | "that the screensaver might actually have been a Fifteen-type puzzle " | ||
| 20 | "rather than this slightly different kind. So this might be the one " | ||
| 21 | "thing in my puzzle collection which represents creativity on my part " | ||
| 22 | "rather than just engineering. " | ||

| 26 | "Left-clicking on an arrow will move the appropriate row or column in " | ||
| 27 | "the direction indicated. Right-clicking will move it in the opposite " | ||
| 28 | "direction. " | ||
| 29 | "\n" | ||
| 30 | "Alternatively, use the cursor keys to move the position indicator " | ||
| 31 | "around the edge of the grid, and use the return key to move the " | ||
| 32 | "row/column in the direction indicated. " | ||
| 33 | "\n" | ||
| 34 | "You can also move the tiles directly. Move the cursor onto a tile, " | ||
| 35 | "hold Control and press an arrow key to move the tile under the " | ||
| 36 | "cursor and move the cursor along with the tile. Or, hold Shift to " | ||
| 37 | "move only the tile. Pressing Enter simulates holding down Control " | ||
| 38 | "(press Enter again to release), while pressing Space simulates " | ||
| 39 | "holding down shift. " | ||

| 50 | "- You can ask for a limited shuffling operation to be performed on " | ||
| 51 | "the grid. By default, Sixteen will shuffle the grid in such a " | ||
| 52 | "way that any arrangement is about as probable as any other. You " | ||
| 53 | "can override this by requesting a precise number of shuffling " | ||
| 54 | "moves to be performed. Typically your aim is then to determine " | ||
| 55 | "the precise set of shuffling moves and invert them exactly, " | ||
| 56 | "so that you answer (say) a four-move shuffle with a four-move " | ||
| 57 | "solution. Note that the more moves you ask for, the more likely " | ||
| 58 | "it is that solutions shorter than the target length will turn " | ||
| 59 | "out to be possible. " | ||
