                ---------------------------------------

 Picture Tiles is based on the  old  sliding puzzle type game where you 
 have to re-arrange a number of tiles into a sequential order. 
 I have seen one version on the Amiga, I'm sure there are others, but I 
 thought I could improve on the program  I  saw, it was limited to just 
 one puzzle, with the usual numbered blocks.

                ----------------------------------------

                             PICTURE TILES

 In the game two versions of the puzzle  are shown on the screen, one on 
 the left, yours, and one on the right the computers.
 When you click on MIX! and the picture gets jumbled, BOTH versions are 
 exactly the same.
 The computer will not make a move until you have made your FIRST move, 
 when you make your  first  move  it  will  then  proceed  to solve the 
 puzzle! 
 A record of the number of moves made by you and the computer are shown 
 on the screen....why?  Just for the fun of it!!!

 The are a few options available in the game these are:

 LOAD
 This will let you load a picture  and  select a section of the screen, 
 by simply clicking the LEFT mouse button.
 You can load any picture created using  an art package, such as Deluxe 
 Paint.

 RESET
 Will reset the puzzle, if you find the going too tough!

 MIX!
 Yes you guessed it.  Jumbles the tiles.

 BANK
 Selects the games built in tiles, as when first run.

 16GRID
 Displays the puzzle as 16 large tiles. 15 really and 1 blank.

 64GRID
 This is much more  difficult  to  complete!!!  63  small tiles and one 
 blank.

 LOAD MUSIC
 Lets you load a Sound TRACKER module to play in the background.

 MUSIC ON & MUSIC OFF
 Turn music on/off.
 When you hear the built  in  track  you  will  soon appreciate the OFF 
 option! But then I have no musical ability whatsoever.

 QUIT
 Quits the game. You will be  asked  to  confirm this be holding down Y 
 yes, or N no.

                         ****** MOVEMENT ******
 You can use the CURSOR (Arrow) keys  to  move or if you prefer you can 
 use the mouse, by clicking on the arrows on the screen.


 This game was wrote using  AMOS,  DeluxePaintIII  and Octamed Pro on a 
 standard A-500 Plus.
