First Steps

Open a DOS window, change into the Number Game directory, and start the NumberGame with the following command line:

   numbergame properties/config1.xml

That means that you are going to start the numbergame with the configuration saved in the file properties/config1.xml.

After the program has been loaded you will see the following window:

The first number you have to find is the number 10 as mentioned at the bottom of the window. Click with the left mouse button at the position where you suppose the number 10 to be (Only the x position is decisive, the y position is irrelevant). If you are wrong, the hedgehog will remain at its position, and you have to continue searching. If you are right, the hedgehog jumps to the position and cheers. Now click with the right mouse button to get the next task.

If you have enough of that, click both mouse buttons at the same time, and you will exit the program. If you are persevering, the program will exit by itself when no more tasks are left.

Start the Number Game with the configurations properties/config2.xml, properties/config3.xml and properties/config4.xml to get a feeling of the program's abilities.
