It used to be that each puzzle had a complete copy of the entire puzzles manual and the "quick help" text for every single puzzle. This was obviously a waste, so now each puzzle only has the sections of the manual that apply to it, saving about 100KB or so per puzzle. This also has the added benefit of shrinking binary size enough to allow full help support on the c200v2, which has been enabled. Change-Id: I76c799635de058e4a48e0c18b79537857af7cf85

"You have a square grid. On each square of the grid you can build "
|
|
"a tower, with its height ranging from 1 to the size of the grid. "
|
|
"Around the edge of the grid are some numeric clues. "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"Your task is to build a tower on every square, in such a way that: "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"- Each row contains every possible height of tower once "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"- Each column contains every possible height of tower once "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"- Each numeric clue describes the number of towers that can be "
|
|
"seen if you look into the square from that direction, assuming "
|
|
"that shorter towers are hidden behind taller ones. For example, "
|
|
"in a 5x5 grid, a clue marked `5' indicates that the five tower "
|
|
"heights must appear in increasing order (otherwise you would "
|
|
"not be able to see all five towers), whereas a clue marked `1' "
|
|
"indicates that the tallest tower (the one marked 5) must come "
|
|
"first. "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"In harder or larger puzzles, some towers will be specified for you "
|
|
"as well as the clues round the edge, and some edge clues may be "
|
|
"missing. "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"This puzzle appears on the web under various names, particularly "
|

"`Skyscrapers', but I don't know who first invented it. "

"\n#31.1 Towers controls "

"\n"
|

"Towers shares much of its control system with Solo, Unequal and "
|
|
"Keen. "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"To play Towers, simply click the mouse in any empty square and then "
|
|
"type a digit on the keyboard to fill that square with a tower of "
|
|
"the given height. If you make a mistake, click the mouse in the "
|
|
"incorrect square and press Space to clear it again (or use the Undo "
|
|
"feature). "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"If you _right_-click in a square and then type a number, that "
|
|
"number will be entered in the square as a `pencil mark'. You can "
|
|
"have pencil marks for multiple numbers in the same square. A square "
|
|
"containing a tower cannot also contain pencil marks. "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"The game pays no attention to pencil marks, so exactly what you "
|
|
"use them for is up to you: you can use them as reminders that a "
|
|
"particular square needs to be re-examined once you know more about "
|
|
"a particular number, or you can use them as lists of the possible "
|
|
"numbers in a given square, or anything else you feel like. "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"To erase a single pencil mark, right-click in the square and type "
|
|
"the same number again. "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"All pencil marks in a square are erased when you left-click and type "
|
|
"a number, or when you left-click and press space. Right-clicking and "
|
|
"pressing space will also erase pencil marks. "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"As for Solo, the cursor keys can be used in conjunction with the "
|
|
"digit keys to set numbers or pencil marks. Use the cursor keys to "
|
|
"move a highlight around the grid, and type a digit to enter it in "
|
|
"the highlighted square. Pressing return toggles the highlight into a "
|
|
"mode in which you can enter or remove pencil marks. "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"Pressing M will fill in a full set of pencil marks in every square "
|
|
"that does not have a main digit in it. "
|
|
"\n"
|
|
"Left-clicking a clue will mark it as done (grey it out), or unmark "
|
|
"it if it is already marked. Holding Control or Shift and pressing an "
|
|
"arrow key likewise marks any clue in the given direction. "
