- GAME PLAY
-
- Select one of 50 puzzles by pressing the <S>elect Puzzle key. The
- puzzle will load itself onto the game board. A yellow square will
- be located in the upper left hand corner of the board. Use the
- <Arrow Keys> to move the marker to the desired place on the board
- where you want to flip the tiles. To mark that tile, press the
- <Spacebar> key. This will turn the yellow marker to green.
-
- If you make a mistake and want to unmark the tile, then press
- the <Spacebar> again.

- SOLVING PUZZLE

- On top of the game board, the Raku Master will tell you how
- many moves you have to solve the puzzle. If you solve the puzzle
- in that many moves or less, the Raku Master will consider the
- puzzle solved and it will be recorded as * Solved * in the
- Status Box.
-
-

- All key designations are shown at the bottom of the screen at all
- times. By pressing the <O>ption key, you get the following.

- current puzzle on the game board.

- Raku Master puzzles get harder as you go along. You don't have to
