This program is one from a series of computerized popular games.


PLAYING THE GAME

The goal of the game is to guess the four random generated colors hidden
behind the question marks on the top of the table. You guess by placing a
color combination on the last empty row. The computer will respond by giving
hints on the left-hand-side of the table. The hint is given in the
following way: For each guessed color a block will be placed on the hint
row. A black block indicates that the corresponding color on the tip row is
right, but it is misplaced. White block indicates that you guessed right the
corresponding color on that location. That is, both color and placement are
correct. Empty fields on the hint line mean that corresponding colors are
wrong.


EDITING THE TIP LINE

You will guess by typing the initials of colors as highlighted on the
screen. You can move around on the current tip line using the arrow keys.
After editing the tip line, press the enter key.

You will be given 15 chances to solve the game.

Use F2 to copy the previous tip line to the current line. If you loose
pacience, the answer can be revealed by pressing F1.


SETTINGS

There are 4 game levels:

Level 1 - The combination to be guessed will not contain
any emply fields, and all four colors will be
different.

Level 2 - Empty fields are allowed
Level 3 - One specific color may appear more than once
Level 4 - Both empty fields and equal colors may appear

You can set the game level by typing the initials of each setting
as highlighted on the bottom line of the screen.
