 HOW TO PLAY

You have to create a form with 7 geometrics pieces. The games have 5 right-angled triangles:

       .

a square  and a trapezium:

These forms can be moved or revolved  (see  Move) to obtain the wished shape. The revolved speed can be changed  (see Commands ) in order to reach the adjustment  you desire .

You can create an infinite number of shapes with the 7 pieces.  You could  resolve any one  selection of 24 shapes  (see Commands)

 MOVE

Each piece can be moved or revolved with the mousse. Within each of the 3 basic shape of pieces  (triangle, square and trapezium)  there is an area where the mousse must be pointed to initiate a movement. This area  for the triangle, the square or the trapezium  is delimited by a square (see the red square inside each form, note that for the square all the space is a valid area).

When you point the mousse in the valid area  you could

-MOVE:  by clicking and draging  with  the LEFT   button of the mousse

-REVOLVE: by clicking  and draging  with RIGHT  button of the mousse

By default the rotation is  clockwise  but you could reverse the rotation  by double clicking the  RIGHT  button of the mousse when pointing in a valid area  (counter clockwise ). A Second double click with  the RIGHT button of the mousse in a valid area will reset rotation to default (clockwise).

Sometimes it can be useful to invert the position of a piece particularly with the trapezium. To do so, double click  with the LEFT button when pointing in a valid area. See the effect of an inversion for the trapezium:

If you invert the triangle you will get the same position as a rotation. You cant invert the square, it has no effect anyway.
