| 6 | "You have a square grid; each square may contain a digit from 1 to " | ||
| 7 | "the size of the grid, and some squares have clue signs between them. " | ||
| 8 | "Your aim is to fully populate the grid with numbers such that: " | ||
| 9 | "\n" | ||
| 10 | "- Each row contains only one occurrence of each digit " | ||
| 11 | "\n" | ||
| 12 | "- Each column contains only one occurrence of each digit " | ||
| 13 | "\n" | ||
| 14 | "- All the clue signs are satisfied. " | ||
| 15 | "\n" | ||
| 16 | "There are two modes for this game, `Unequal' and `Adjacent'. " | ||
| 17 | "\n" | ||
| 18 | "In `Unequal' mode, the clue signs are greater-than symbols " | ||
| 19 | "indicating one square's value is greater than its neighbour's. In " | ||
| 20 | "this mode not all clues may be visible, particularly at higher " | ||
| 21 | "difficulty levels. " | ||
| 22 | "\n" | ||
| 23 | "In `Adjacent' mode, the clue signs are bars indicating one square's " | ||
| 24 | "value is numerically adjacent (i.e. one higher or one lower) than " | ||
| 25 | "its neighbour. In this mode all clues are always visible: absence of " | ||
| 26 | "a bar thus means that a square's value is definitely not numerically " | ||
| 27 | "adjacent to that neighbour's. " | ||
| 28 | "\n" | ||
| 29 | "In `Trivial' difficulty level (available via the `Custom' game type " | ||
| 30 | "selector), there are no greater-than signs in `Unequal' mode; the " | ||
| 31 | "puzzle is to solve the Latin square only. " | ||
| 32 | "\n" | ||
| 33 | "At the time of writing, the `Unequal' mode of this puzzle is " | ||
| 34 | "appearing in the Guardian weekly under the name `Futoshiki'. " | ||
| 35 | "\n" | ||
| 36 | "Unequal was contributed to this collection by James Harvey. " | ||
| 37 | "\n" | ||
| 38 | "\n#27.1 Unequal controls " | ||
| 39 | "\n" | ||
| 40 | "Unequal shares much of its control system with Solo. " | ||
| 41 | "\n" | ||
| 42 | "To play Unequal, simply click the mouse in any empty square and then " | ||
| 43 | "type a digit or letter on the keyboard to fill that square. If you " | ||
| 44 | "make a mistake, click the mouse in the incorrect square and press " | ||
| 45 | "Space to clear it again (or use the Undo feature). " | ||
| 46 | "\n" | ||
| 47 | "If you _right_-click in a square and then type a number, that " | ||
| 48 | "number will be entered in the square as a `pencil mark'. You can " | ||
| 49 | "have pencil marks for multiple numbers in the same square. Squares " | ||
| 50 | "containing filled-in numbers cannot also contain pencil marks. " | ||
| 51 | "\n" | ||
| 52 | "The game pays no attention to pencil marks, so exactly what you " | ||
| 53 | "use them for is up to you: you can use them as reminders that a " | ||
| 54 | "particular square needs to be re-examined once you know more about " | ||
| 55 | "a particular number, or you can use them as lists of the possible " | ||
| 56 | "numbers in a given square, or anything else you feel like. " | ||
| 57 | "\n" | ||
| 58 | "To erase a single pencil mark, right-click in the square and type " | ||
| 59 | "the same number again. " | ||
| 60 | "\n" | ||
| 61 | "All pencil marks in a square are erased when you left-click and type " | ||
| 62 | "a number, or when you left-click and press space. Right-clicking and " | ||
| 63 | "pressing space will also erase pencil marks. " | ||
| 64 | "\n" | ||
| 65 | "As for Solo, the cursor keys can be used in conjunction with the " | ||
| 66 | "digit keys to set numbers or pencil marks. You can also use the `M' " | ||
| 67 | "key to auto-fill every numeric hint, ready for removal as required, " | ||
| 68 | "or the `H' key to do the same but also to remove all obvious hints. " | ||
| 69 | "\n" | ||
| 70 | "Alternatively, use the cursor keys to move the mark around the grid. " | ||
| 71 | "Pressing the return key toggles the mark (from a normal mark to a " | ||
| 72 | "pencil mark), and typing a number in is entered in the square in the " | ||
| 73 | "appropriate way; typing in a 0 or using the space bar will clear a " | ||
| 74 | "filled square. " | ||
| 75 | "\n" | ||
| 76 | "Left-clicking a clue will mark it as done (grey it out), or unmark " | ||
| 77 | "it if it is already marked. Holding Control or Shift and pressing " | ||
| 78 | "an arrow key likewise marks any clue adjacent to the cursor in the " | ||
| 79 | "given direction. " | ||
