One of the games that comes along with newer
Nokia phones (eg.
Nokia 3210).
The purpose is to get a series of numbers to be in order by merely rotating them. E.g. turning this:
2 7 12 8
5 1 11 15
6 14 13 10
4 3 16 9
into this:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16
the
size of the
game and the rotating
field depend on the level:
+---------------------+
| Lvl | Gm.Sz | FldSz |
+-----+-------+-------+
| 1 | 3x3 | 2x2 |
| 2 | 4x4 | 2x2 |
| 3 | 5x5 | 2x2 |
| 4 | 6x6 | 2x2 |
| 5 | 4x4 | 3x3 |
| 6 | 5x5 | 3x3 |
| 7 | 6x6 | 3x3 |
+-----+-------+-------+
Currently, my highscore is
1430 - achieved at Level 2 (I've never
solved Level 5-7 :-( )
It seems that the score is based on number of moves
as well as the time it took to solve the game.
As a small
present for all the
fans of this game, I've made a cute little
windows application - Rotation
.exe - in
Visual C++ - where you can play Level 1-4 and
save your scores in two
top 10s for every level (one for best times, one for best number of moves).
