A logic Grid mode of play has been added to Brain Cell. (The standard mode is still available). Instead of merely dragging the characteristics to the answer grid, you may now opt to indicate true and false combinations in a standard logic grid. Brain Cell will then automatically fill in the answer from the logic grid.
2. Puzzle Elapsed Time
-Elapsed time is displayed.
-A pause button will suspend the timer.
-Minimizing the puzzle screen will suspend the timer.
3. Player Options
-A player sign-in screen has been added.
-You may select default start-up options - such as start-up data, start-up level, logic grid versus basic play.
- You may store and retrieve personal quick-start data to be used in
generating puzzles.
4. Hall of Fame
-Five players can enter the Hall of Fame per level.
-A time penalty has been added for hints, but you may still enter the Hall of Fame even if you used a hint.
-The Hall of Fame can be viewed from the first Brain Cell Screen
5. Statistics
A Brain Cell Statistics screen has been added to display both overall and
personal statistics. It shows:
- number of games played
- number of games won
- best times
- average times
6. Expanded Help
A tutorial has been added, showing how to solve Brain cell puzzles.
7. Replay Option
You may now re-play a generated puzzle. You can try to beat your previous time; you can save it for another player to play; or you can just re-start if you have made some mistakes.
8. Data Restrictions
-Duplicate values are not allowed as they lead to misleading clues
-Values that are used in comparisons are restricted.
9. Bug Fixes
- Some of the generated puzzles did not always yield a unique solution. This
has been fixed.
- The level 2 and 3 puzzle generators have been swapped, as level 3 was easier than level 2.
