Object: create a line of four walls in a row.
You are given a board with a man and a number of coloured walls. Your goal is to create four walls (of any colour) in a row.
All moves consists of walking straight until you encounter a wall or the end of the board. After any move you have to turn 90 degrees (left or right) in the next move. There are three types of such moves allowed; they are called bump moves, pull moves, and slides.
The Bump Move: If the position behind the wall you bumped into is free, then this wall will be shifted by one step.
The Pull Move: You can only execute a pull move if no bump move is possible between the from- and to-position. For a pull-move your man must be adjacent to a wall and you must move away from this wall. In this case the wall will be moved along with your man.
All moves which are neither bump moves nor pull moves are called slides. You can only execute a slide move if neither a bump move nor a pull move is possible between
the from- and to-position. A slide move does not move any wall piece; it only moves your man.
You win when you create a line of four walls in a row (horizontally or vertically). The four walls do not have to be of the same colour. The number of your moves as well as the length of the shortest known walk
are shown at the top border.
When SmartMoves is activated, you simply click the target position
to move your man. Activate it via View/Options/Board/SmartMoves.
