| 5 | "\n" | ||
| 6 | "You have a square grid. On each square of the grid you can build " | ||
| 7 | "a tower, with its height ranging from 1 to the size of the grid. " | ||
| 8 | "Around the edge of the grid are some numeric clues. " | ||
| 9 | "\n" | ||
| 10 | "Your task is to build a tower on every square, in such a way that: " | ||
| 11 | "\n" | ||
| 12 | "- Each row contains every possible height of tower once " | ||
| 13 | "\n" | ||
| 14 | "- Each column contains every possible height of tower once " | ||
| 15 | "\n" | ||
| 16 | "- Each numeric clue describes the number of towers that can be " | ||
| 17 | "seen if you look into the square from that direction, assuming " | ||
| 18 | "that shorter towers are hidden behind taller ones. For example, " | ||
| 19 | "in a 5x5 grid, a clue marked `5' indicates that the five tower " | ||
| 20 | "heights must appear in increasing order (otherwise you would " | ||
| 21 | "not be able to see all five towers), whereas a clue marked `1' " | ||
| 22 | "indicates that the tallest tower (the one marked 5) must come " | ||
| 23 | "first. " | ||
| 24 | "\n" | ||
| 25 | "In harder or larger puzzles, some towers will be specified for you " | ||
| 26 | "as well as the clues round the edge, and some edge clues may be " | ||
| 27 | "missing. " | ||
| 28 | "\n" | ||
| 29 | "This puzzle appears on the web under various names, particularly " | ||
| 30 | "`Skyscrapers', but I don't know who first invented it. " | ||

| 32 | "\n#31.1 Towers controls " | ||
| 33 | "\n" | ||
| 34 | "Towers shares much of its control system with Solo, Unequal and " | ||
| 35 | "Keen. " | ||
| 36 | "\n" | ||
| 37 | "To play Towers, simply click the mouse in any empty square and then " | ||
| 38 | "type a digit on the keyboard to fill that square with a tower of " | ||
| 39 | "the given height. If you make a mistake, click the mouse in the " | ||
| 40 | "incorrect square and press Space to clear it again (or use the Undo " | ||
| 41 | "feature). " | ||
| 42 | "\n" | ||
| 43 | "If you _right_-click in a square and then type a number, that " | ||
| 44 | "number will be entered in the square as a `pencil mark'. You can " | ||
| 45 | "have pencil marks for multiple numbers in the same square. A square " | ||
| 46 | "containing a tower cannot also contain pencil marks. " | ||
| 47 | "\n" | ||
| 48 | "The game pays no attention to pencil marks, so exactly what you " | ||
| 49 | "use them for is up to you: you can use them as reminders that a " | ||
| 50 | "particular square needs to be re-examined once you know more about " | ||
| 51 | "a particular number, or you can use them as lists of the possible " | ||
| 52 | "numbers in a given square, or anything else you feel like. " | ||
| 53 | "\n" | ||
| 54 | "To erase a single pencil mark, right-click in the square and type " | ||
| 55 | "the same number again. " | ||
| 56 | "\n" | ||
| 57 | "All pencil marks in a square are erased when you left-click and type " | ||
| 58 | "a number, or when you left-click and press space. Right-clicking and " | ||
| 59 | "pressing space will also erase pencil marks. " | ||
| 60 | "\n" | ||
| 61 | "As for Solo, the cursor keys can be used in conjunction with the " | ||
| 62 | "digit keys to set numbers or pencil marks. Use the cursor keys to " | ||
| 63 | "move a highlight around the grid, and type a digit to enter it in " | ||
| 64 | "the highlighted square. Pressing return toggles the highlight into a " | ||
| 65 | "mode in which you can enter or remove pencil marks. " | ||
| 66 | "\n" | ||
| 67 | "Pressing M will fill in a full set of pencil marks in every square " | ||
| 68 | "that does not have a main digit in it. " | ||
| 69 | "\n" | ||
| 70 | "Left-clicking a clue will mark it as done (grey it out), or unmark " | ||
| 71 | "it if it is already marked. Holding Control or Shift and pressing an " | ||
| 72 | "arrow key likewise marks any clue in the given direction. " | ||
