Puzzle is a video version of a number puzzle with sliding squares. To play with Puzzle, you can either use the mouse or type corresponding numbers from the keypad.
This chapter describes how to
The puzzle squares are scrambled. The trick is to arrange them in ascending order in the fewest possible moves. Puzzle keeps track of the number of moves you make.
Click on the square you want to move. Alternatively, you can type the corresponding number on the keypad and press the Enter key. Although you can move only those squares that are adjacent to the blank square, you can slide an entire row at a time.
You can make Puzzle easier or more challenging by changing the settings. To change the Puzzle settings, choose Settings... from the Options menu. A dialog box appears.
Try increasing the number of squares per side. To do so, press and hold MB1 on the number in the slider and drag to the right. To change the settings, click on OK. To return to Puzzle without changing any settings, click on Cancel.
To save the changes you made, choose Save Settings from the Options menu before you exit Puzzle. To restore the system settings, choose Restore System Settings from the Options menu.
You can end an existing game at any time. To rescramble the squares and start a new game, choose New Game from the File menu.
To exit Puzzle, choose Exit from the File menu.
In a DECterm window, you can use compose sequences to create special characters. A compose sequence is a series of keystrokes that create characters that do not exist as standard keys on your keyboard. You can create any character from the character set that DECterm is currently using. (For more information about choosing a character set, see Chapter 8.)
Depending on the keyboard type, you compose characters in either of the following ways:
To compose a character:
You must simultaneously press the Compose key and the space bar to begin a compose sequence. |
The North American, United Kingdom, and Dutch keyboards do not have diacritical marks. If you use a diacritical mark, DECterm uses an equivalent character. |
The characters that you compose in Multinational Character Mode are as follows:
