Boss puzzle: quick start

The Boss Puzzle was popularized in the late 1800s by Samuel Lloyd, an American businessman. It consists of a 4x4 grid of tiles, one of which is missing.

The tiles are numbered 1-15. In the original form, tiles 14 and 15 were swapped round.
With the Boss Puzzle application you can:
•	move tiles by pointing with the pointer
•	move them using the arrow keys
•	deal the game either fully ordered or Boss ordered
•	save games as files
•	save games as embedded objects
Building the Boss Puzzle

All instructions in this refer to the full EIKON versions of the Boss Puzzle.  Full instructions for building are contained in the EPOC32 C++ SDK, in the Practical Guide.  For a very quick start, try
1.	cd \boss\group\
2.	ebld eik7 wins deb
and then invoke the WINS emulator.  You should see that the Boss Puzzle is available on the Extras bar.
Starting the game
invoking initializing invoke initialize
You can start the game by selecting its icon from the Extras bar, or by selecting a file from the Shell, or by selecting or creating an embedded object from a document.
Resetting the game
You can reset the game to fully ordered using archive=pictures name=full-order-button, or to Boss ordered using archive=pictures name=boss-order-button.
Playing the game
keyboard
To play the game, use the pointer to select and move tiles.  Alternatively, use the arrow keys to move tiles in the direction you want to.
In order to show how to use simple menus, menu support for moving is also provided.  But this is not a very convenient way to play the game.
Embedding objects
You can embed a Boss Puzzle game into other documents.  For instance, from Word, try
1.	insert object (CTRL+SHIFT+O)
2.	select Boss Puzzle as the “from program”
3.	select Ok
4.	make a few moves in the Boss Puzzle game
5.	exit the embedded Boss Puzzle game
The Boss Puzzle is then displayed in Word, using the glass door capability.  The Boss Puzzle supports zooming: try zooming the word document in and out using CTRL+M and CTRL+SHIFT+M.
