 What is Satori?
  Satori is a solitaire game played on a
  10x10 board, with 60 different tiles.
  Each tile has a path segment on it, in
  one of five different colors: red,
  yellow, green, blue, and violet.  The
  tiles are shuffled, and then drawn one
  at a time from the stack.

  The point of the game is to place the
  tiles on the board in such a way as to
  create the longest possible connected
  path, by placing any given tile next
  to a tile with a connecting path
  segment. ("Longest possible" does not
  mean "longest straight-line."  It
  simply means that the tiles are
  connected as much as possible.)  For
  example, the tile with the "Ê" pattern
  can connect upwardly with the tiles
  showing "É" or "¹", but not with "Í".
  Adjacent non- connecting styles do not
  score, but 2 points are scored for
  every connection that can be made on a
  given play.  A bonus of 5 points per
  connection is given when connecting
  tiles are of the same color.  You will
  quickly discover that connections can
  only be made along the orthagonal
  directions (up, down, left, right).

 General Principles
  1) Once a tile is played, it cannot be
     moved.
  2) Tiles cannot be placed on
     top of existing tiles.

 Options
  There are two modes to Satori: the
  novice, and the expert.  In the novice
  game, tiles may be played anywhere on
  the board.  In the expert game, tiles
  must be played adjacent to tiles
  already on the board.  Needless to
  say, this is a much more difficult
  game, but nobody said the way to
  Satori is easy!

  You can't change the playing mode
  after you've laid down the first tile.

 The blank tiles
  There are 5 blank tiles which do not
  score when placed.  In the novice
  game, these may seem gratuitous, since
  they can be played out of harm's way,
  but in the expert game they must be
  played adjacent to existing tiles.
  This renders them not at all
  gratuitous.

 Keeping the high score
  The high score list in Satori is kept
  with paper and a writing instrument
  such as a pen or pencil.

 The Mouse
  The left mouse button places the tiles
  on the game board, and activates the
  screen buttons.  The right mouse
  button ends the current game.
