| 6 | "A number of balls are hidden in a rectangular arena. You have to " | ||

| 9 | "\n" | ||
| 10 | "Beams will travel straight from their origin until they hit the " | ||

| 13 | "\n" | ||
| 14 | "- A beam that hits a ball head-on is absorbed and will never re-\n" | ||
| 15 | "emerge. This includes beams that meet a ball on the first rank " | ||
| 16 | "of the arena. " | ||
| 17 | "\n" | ||
| 18 | "- A beam with a ball in its front-left square and no ball ahead of " | ||
| 19 | "it gets deflected 90 degrees to the right. " | ||
| 20 | "\n" | ||
| 21 | "- A beam with a ball in its front-right square and no ball ahead " | ||
| 22 | "of it gets similarly deflected to the left. " | ||
| 23 | "\n" | ||
| 24 | "- A beam that would re-emerge from its entry location is " | ||
| 25 | "considered to be `reflected'. " | ||
| 26 | "\n" | ||
| 27 | "- A beam which would get deflected before entering the arena by a " | ||
| 28 | "ball to the front-left or front-right of its entry point is also " | ||
| 29 | "considered to be `reflected'. " | ||
| 30 | "\n" | ||
| 31 | "Beams that are reflected appear as a `R'; beams that hit balls head-\n" | ||
| 32 | "on appear as `H'. Otherwise, a number appears at the firing point " | ||
| 33 | "and the location where the beam emerges (this number is unique to " | ||
| 34 | "that shot). " | ||
| 35 | "\n" | ||
| 36 | "You can place guesses as to the location of the balls, based on the " | ||

| 40 | "enough for the intended bridge direction to be unambiguous. (So you " | ||
| 41 | "can keep the mouse near the starting island and conveniently throw " | ||
| 42 | "bridges out from it in many directions.) " | ||
| 43 | "\n" | ||
| 44 | "Doing this again when a bridge is already present will add another " | ||

| 64 | "Holding Control and pressing a cursor key will lay a bridge in that " | ||

| 89 | "grid on the `Type' menu: the number of columns, and the number of " | ||
| 90 | "rows, into which the main grid is divided. (The size of a block is " | ||
| 91 | "the inverse of this: for example, if you select 2 columns and 3 " | ||
| 92 | "rows, each actual block will have 3 columns and 2 rows.) " | ||
| 93 | "\n" | ||
| 94 | "If you tick the `X' checkbox, Solo will apply the optional extra " | ||
| 95 | "constraint that the two main diagonals of the grid also contain " | ||
| 96 | "one of every digit. (This is sometimes known as `Sudoku-X' in " | ||
| 97 | "newspapers.) In this mode, the squares on the two main diagonals " | ||
| 98 | "will be shaded slightly so that you know it's enabled. " | ||
| 99 | "\n" | ||
| 100 | "If you tick the `Jigsaw' checkbox, Solo will generate randomly " | ||
| 101 | "shaped sub-blocks. In this mode, the actual grid size will be taken " | ||
| 102 | "to be the product of the numbers entered in the `Columns' and `Rows' " | ||
| 103 | "boxes. There is no reason why you have to enter a number greater " | ||
| 104 | "than 1 in both boxes; Jigsaw mode has no constraint on the grid " | ||
| 105 | "size, and it can even be a prime number if you feel like it. " | ||
| 106 | "\n" | ||
| 107 | "If you tick the `Killer' checkbox, Solo will generate a set of " | ||
| 108 | "of cages, which are randomly shaped and drawn in an outline of a " | ||
| 109 | "different colour. Each of these regions contains a smaller clue " | ||
| 110 | "which shows the digit sum of all the squares in this region. " | ||
| 111 | "\n" | ||
| 112 | "You can also configure the type of symmetry shown in the generated " | ||
| 113 | "puzzles. More symmetry makes the puzzles look prettier but may also " | ||
| 114 | "make them easier, since the symmetry constraints can force more " | ||
| 115 | "clues than necessary to be present. Completely asymmetric puzzles " | ||
| 116 | "have the freedom to contain as few clues as possible. " | ||
| 117 | "\n" | ||
| 118 | "Finally, you can configure the difficulty of the generated puzzles. " | ||
| 119 | "Difficulty levels are judged by the complexity of the techniques " | ||
| 120 | "of deduction required to solve the puzzle: each level requires a " | ||
| 121 | "mode of reasoning which was not necessary in the previous one. In " | ||
| 122 | "particular, on difficulty levels `Trivial' and `Basic' there will be " | ||
| 123 | "a square you can fill in with a single number at all times, whereas " | ||
| 124 | "at `Intermediate' level and beyond you will have to make partial " | ||
| 125 | "deductions about the _set_ of squares a number could be in (or the " | ||
| 126 | "set of numbers that could be in a square). At `Unreasonable' level, " | ||
| 127 | "even this is not enough, and you will eventually have to make a " | ||
| 128 | "guess, and then backtrack if it turns out to be wrong. " | ||

| 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" | ||

| 11 | "\n" | ||
| 12 | "- Each column contains only one occurrence of each digit " | ||

| 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. " | ||

| 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. " | ||
