Numero V1.0
(c) Tollside Ltd 1999


Numero is a crossword game using numbers instead of letters.  The idea is to fill the numbers into the correct places and to complete the grid.



SETUP:

Once all files have been unzipped, run SETUP.EXE



OPERATION:

Select a skill level (moderate is default) and press New Game button.  A new game will be generated in a few seconds (450MHz processor)

On the top right of the screen is a box with an arrow in - this shows which way numbers will be filled in on the grid - either left to right or top to bottom.  To change the direction simply move the cursor over the box.

Having selected fill direction, click anywhere on a particular number to select it from the selection box - it will become highlighted.  Click anywhere on the grid where you wish to place this number (you can click anywhere on that particular row or column).  All numbers are displayed in numerical order in the selection box.

The number must be equal to the number of cells available - a six figure number cannot be placed where there are only four cells available or where there are more cells than six available.  Also if a number crosses the cells where you are inserting and it does not match your number then an error message will be displayed.  Any extra created numbers will automatically be updated.

You can use the Undo button to work backwards - the numbers will be placed back in the selection box. Automatically created numbers will also move back. The Undo button is not available on the 'Very Hard' level.

The hint button displays the solution for a few seconds depending on skill level.  It is not available on the more difficult levels.

If you are sucessful you will be given a score depending on skill level, time taken, number of hints/undo used.  After the first game, a play history is available.

If you select a new game before completing the first you are deemed to have resigned the game - the solution will be displayed at this point.

The New Game + Print is only available on the registered copy - this allows you to print out a puzzle e.g. for use on train or plane journeys.
