- Security: The security warning that (should've) popped up was because this applet will, if you let it, read and write files on your computer. Nothing bad though, it just lets you save a board to a file, and then recall that file later. If you dont believe me, contact me and I'll show you the source code.
- The Board: Ok, so, with a color picked (R, B, Y, E (for empty) from the right side), you should be able to click anywhere on the board to put a virus there. If there's already a virus there of the color you're using, it'll change to an individual pill piece. E will empty out a location (as long as it isn't a connected pill segment). If you've got two individual pill pieces next to eachother, right click on one then right click on the other to join them. Right click on either joined piece to seperated a pill.
- Right Side:
- Combo History: Shows how many virii are eliminated at each step and overall for each combo. The count might be odd if you mess with the board mid-combo. It's your fault.
- R B Y E: The color you want to use when messing with the board. E is for empty.
- Remember - To Memory: The program will remember the current board (or just the virii), so you can recall it later.
- Remember - To File: The blank spot on the left will show the filename once you've set one. Clicking on 'file' will let you pick the file to save to. Clicking on 'go' will save the whole board (but not the upcoming pill).
- Recall - Memory: Recall the board saved from the last call to 'remember to memory'.
- Recall - File: Pick a file to read a board state from. Best to use a file created by this applet, because I was fairly lazy about writing the file 'parser'.
- Stored: Select from a list of prepackaged combo states.
- Fill random: Put a number in the text field, and select a height from the arrows at the far left ('>>' shows the current height to fill to) to put virii at random in the board. This first clears the board, just so you know.
- Check: Currently just count how many of each virus/color there are.
(This xhtml validiates, thanks to code I found here.)
