Hi, I was a bit bored so I wanted to play a little game, I checked five or more, and since I didn't quite understand how to play it, I read the howto... After reading the howto I didn't really understand that you also could make diagonal lines.. So I figured I'd take a little time to gimp from the original the three posible posibilities and post them... *With the added text:* If the path is not clear (you cannot jump objects over obstacles!) the application prints a warning in the status bar (bottom of the window) and the original object remains active. Comes the added bit: --------- 2.3. Making Lines When you've moved your first object, you'll notice the upcomming objects in the upper-left corner. After moving, the objects will be placed on the board. You cannot choose the location of these, their place will be randomly generated. Your objective is to make a line, as long as posible, from the same coloured objects. You can make horizontal, vertical and even diagonal lines, just as long as you like, and just as long as they have the same colour. [picture 1/3] [picture 2/3] [picture 3/3] (Maybe the pictures 2/5 of their size..., 3/4 could be as well... 1/2?, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%? Don't know, as long as they all fit on the same row, maybe underneath eachother...) --------- Text continues As objects disappear, you get points. The points you score depends on the number of objects you managed to align (see Table 1). Your score is shown in the upper right corner of the window. *Until here* I figured this makes things a bit more clear.... Then again, I'm a bit weird lately so it could always be me... G. S. Tatch
These docs have recently been rewritten from scratch using Mallard XML. I agree that the ability to score points using diagonals was not all that clear. I believe it has been made clear now, in the instructions as well as the screencast demo which is included in these docs. Thanks for your bug report and for making Five or More better!
I've decided to use your screenshots in the new docs. I cropped them, so the English strings are not longer in the picture, ensuring these figures will be used by all translations :-) The commit is here: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-games/commit/?id=811815760659a1773c2ea28d108cd4cd1807150c Thanks!
