In Game Picture

Once a new game begins, the Timer starts. The quicker the user completes a round, the higher the score for that Round. However, take too long and the user receives a negative Score, which reduces the overall Score.

To move the numbers around the board, click on the number you want to move and then click on the number with which you want to swap it. If you change your mind, clicking on the original number will deactivate it as the first number.

The numbers along the right side and bottom edge of the game board are the target amounts. Get all of them matched up and the Round is over.

Complete 20 Rounds, and the game board gets an additional row and column until it reaches 10 by 10.

To end a game, click on the End Game button. The user can do this at any time during a game. While the game can be infinitely long, continually taking too long to complete a Round and the total Score can be reduced below 0. If the user wants a higth score, knowing when to end the game is as important as completing each Round.
