** To play _Paint By Numbers_, run the "Games" application. **
|
|
|
|
The object of Paint By Numbers is to discover which cells should be
|
|
colored blue and which should be colored white. Initially, all squares are
|
|
grey, indicating that the correct colors are not known. The lists of
|
|
numbers to the left and above the grid are your clues to the correct color
|
|
of each square. Each list of numbers specifies the pattern of blue squares
|
|
in the row beside it or the column below it. Each number indicates the
|
|
length of a group of blue squares. For example, if the list of numbers
|
|
beside the first row is "2 3" then you know that there is a contiguous
|
|
block of two blue squares followed by a contiguous block of three blue
|
|
squares with at least one white square between them. The label does not
|
|
tell you where the blue squares are, only their shapes. The trick is to
|
|
gather as much information as you can about each row, and then use that
|
|
information to determine more about each column. Eventually you should be
|
|
able to fill in the entire puzzle.
|
|
|
|
Click on a square to toggle it between blue and gray. Hold down a modifier
|
|
key (shift, command, meta, or alt depending on the platform) to toggle a
|
|
square between white and gray. The third button under unix and the right
|
|
button under windows also toggles between white and gray.
|
|
|
|
For some puzzles, hints are available. Choose the Nongram|Show Mistakes
|
|
menu item to receive the hints. This will turn all incorrectly colored
|
|
squares red.
