Introduction
------------

"Mirror" is a thinking game like a jigsaw-puzzle for your Psion 3c.
You have to put a broken picture back together by telling the Psion
how many pieces to "mirror" (ie. reverse their order) from one end of
the screen to the other.



Installation
------------

(1) Create a directory called "Mirror" inside the "App" directory of
any disk of your Psion 3c.  The program does not write to this disk
when running, so you can safely install it to a Flash SSD if desired.

(2) Put the eight image directories ("Barn", "Cross", "Default", etc)
inside this "Mirror" directory.  Put the "Mirror.pic" file there too.

(3) Put the "Mirror.opa" file inside the "App" directory of the disk
you chose.

(4) Install the program icon by pressing Psion-I at the System Screen.



Using The Program
-----------------

UPGRADE NOTE: If you get a "Field Not Found" error when you first run
the program, you'll need to delete a config file from your 3c's RAM
disk: "LOC::M:\APP\Mirror.ini".  After deletion, the program will run
without any problems.  Sorry for the inconvenience!  :(

When you first run it, you will see a broken Christina Applegate and
it's your job to put her together again.  :)  This is how the game
works: You press a number from 2 to 6, which tells the Psion how many
pieces you wish to "mirror" (ie. reverse their order).  For example,
press "6" and note that ALL the pieces get mirrored.  Now press "3" a
few times and you'll notice that only 3 pieces get mirrored each time.

You'll also notice that the mirroring process starts from alternate
sides of the Psion's screen.  The side chosen is the one that the
small arrow (top-right of screen) is facing.  The left side is always
the starting side when you start a new game.

When you first run the program, you're playing on Easy Skill.  This
means you can mirror from 2 to 6 pieces at once.  Selecting Hard Skill
means you can only mirror 3 to 6 pieces at once, which makes it harder
to restore the picture.  There's also one other skill: Chaos Mode.
Chaos Mode means that the pieces will become invisible at random times
to keep you on your toes -- so you'd better have a good memory!  If
you want a REAL challenge, try doing the "Rain" picture on Hard Chaos
mode!  :)

To change pictures, press Psion-P (or use the menus) and select any
directory name that appears.  The directory named "Default" must never
be deleted or the program won't run.  You can delete all others if you
want to save disk space.  If you'd prefer a certain picture to be the
new default, just delete the "Default" directory and rename one of the
others to "Default".  The current picture used, piece positions, and
skill settings are saved to your Internal RAM disk when exiting (using
only 1 K).

TO CREATE YOUR OWN PICTURES: There's another program in this archive
called "Cutter".  Install it inside an "App" directory somewhere (best
to use Internal RAM disk) and follow these steps:

(1) First: Note that only single black pictures are used (not black
and grey).  This is done for speed, and saving memory/disk space.

(2) Copy the "Mirror.pic" file from this archive to somewhere where
you can edit it with a drawing program.  NEVER change this actual file
itself -- only draw on a copy of it!

(3) Draw (or paste) a picture into the empty boxes of it.  Then save
the image to your Psion's Internal RAM disk and NOWHERE else.  This is
important because the file must be able to be deleted afterwards, and
it's where "Cutter" will look for the picture.

(4) Run "Cutter".  It will ask you to locate the directory (and disk)
where you installed the "Mirror" program.  Select it and press Enter.

(5) "Cutter" will now ask you to select the drawing you made on your
Internal RAM disk.  Select it and press Enter.

(6) "Cutter" will now cut the drawing into pieces that can be used by
"Mirror" when you play.  When this is done, you have the option of
cutting another image or quitting, as well as deleting the original if
desired.  When done, quit "Cutter" and try out your new picture!  :)
