"card" game

This is a little solitaire-like game.

Go to block 110 and hit shift-B

You'll see something along these lines:


 2  7  9 
10  6 10 
10  3  4  8  3  1

This shows a grid of 9 numbers, and 3 more ("8 3 1" in this case) waiting to come on the board.

The object is to get all the numbers to the top left corner.

You can move numbers up or left, one square at a time.

When you move a number it goes on top of another number (obliterating it.)

You can only move a number if the number you're moving, and the one you're moving it on to are either the same, differ by 1 or differ by a multiple of 3.

Examples of moves on the example board above:

You could move the 3 up because it differes from the 6 by 3.
You can NOT move the three left because it differes from 10 by 7.
You can move the 4 up because it differs from 10 by 6. or left because it differs from the 3 by 1.
You can move the 10 in the lower left up because they are the same number.

How to move

Moving is done by first choosing the piece you would like to move, then the destination.

The way you choose a location on the board is by pressing the number on the number pad that corresponds to that square on the board. The number pad is layed out like this:


7  8  9
4  5  6
1  2  3

So if you want to select the top right square on the board, you press 9. If you want to select the middle square on the board press 5. Bottm right is 3, etc..

Other Keys

shift-Q to quit

r to redeal (use when you win or get stuck... or if it just looks nasty)

P.S. if this isn't enough fun for you, you can get random bar graphs at block 104. Just load the block (104 load) and run rnd-test. Press a key to get another. Press shift-Q to go back to the editor.
