                   THE TILE GAMES (VERSION 2)


The object of this game is similar to the usual 'slide the tiles' 
puzzle.  (ie  to  get  the tiles back in a  certain  order)   The 
difference with this couple of puzzles is the shape of the puzzle 
board.   The  figure  of eight shape makes for  more  interesting 
solutions to the problem.

Control is with the mouse.  Simply get the pointer on to the tile 
you want to move and press the left key.

THE EIGHT PUZZLE

The object here is to rearrange the tiles so they are in sets  of 
three  colours  (ie red-red-red blue-blue-blue etc.)   Since  the 
initial position of the tiles is totally random,  each puzzle has 
its  own  individual solution.   This is the simpler of  the  two 
puzzles,  and should be practised before advancing to the 'ALPHA' 
puzzle.

THE ALPHA PUZZLE

The object in this case is to rearrange the tiles so they are  in 
alphabetical order!!   It can be done,though I have not completed 
it so far.

CREDITS

The game originated from a book 'PUZZLE IT OUT' by John Ewing and
Czes Kosniowski.

The  game was written entirely by me in the legendary STOS and  a 
basic  file 'TILEGAME.BAS' is included to allow investigation  of 
the games construction (of course you will need a copy of STOS to 
do this).


The file 'TILE_V2.PRG' is a runtime version, and is STE 
compatible.


                                   Good luck
