This one was a " "Java game [2], by Paul Scott. You have a grid of 16 squares, six of " "which are blue; on one square rests a cube. Your move is to use the " "arrow keys to roll the cube through 90 degrees so that it moves to " "an adjacent square. If you roll the cube on to a blue square, the " "blue square is picked up on one face of the cube; if you roll a blue " "face of the cube on to a non-blue square, the blueness is put down " "again. (In general, whenever you roll the cube, the two faces that " "come into contact swap colours.) Your job is to get all six blue " "squares on to the six faces of the cube at the same time. Count your " "moves and try to do it in as few as possible. " "\n" "Unlike the original Java game, my version has an additional feature: " "once you've mastered the game with a cube rolling on a square grid, " "you can change to a triangular grid and roll any of a tetrahedron, " "an octahedron or an icosahedron. " "\n" "[2] http://www3.sympatico.ca/paulscott/cube/cube.htm " "\n" "\n#4.1 Cube controls " "\n" "This game can be played with either the keyboard or the mouse. " "\n" "Left-clicking anywhere on the window will move the cube (or other " "solid) towards the mouse pointer. " "\n" "The arrow keys can also used to roll the cube on its square grid in " "the four cardinal directions. On the triangular grids, the mapping " "of arrow keys to directions is more approximate. Vertical movement " "is disallowed where it doesn't make sense. The four keys surrounding " "the arrow keys on the numeric keypad (`7', `9', `1', `3') can be " "used for diagonal movement. " "\n" "(All the actions described in section 2.1 are also available.) " "\n" "\n#4.2 Cube parameters " "\n" "These parameters are available from the `Custom...' option on the " "`Type' menu. " "\n" "_Type of solid_ " "\n" "Selects the solid to roll (and hence the shape of the grid): " "tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, or icosahedron. " "\n" "_Width / top_, _Height / bottom_ " "\n" "On a square grid, horizontal and vertical dimensions. On a " "triangular grid, the number of triangles on the top and bottom " "rows respectively.
