Overview

The Store Room is the room where you appear every time when starting the __PRODUCT_NAME__ game. You can reach most of other rooms from this room. Here, you can store your puzzles and you can pursue many various operations with them - organize in albums, print and send your puzzles, create standalone games, set a puzzle picture as a wallpaper and so on.

You can see every puzzle as an icon (preview) on the room desktop. There are various pieces of information on the icon. On the icon representing a puzzle (further called plainly a puzzle) there is also a button for the access to the context menu of a puzzle. This button allows you to accomplish operations connected with a puzzle. You can move a puzzle arbitrarily all over the room desktop. If there are many puzzles, you can organize them in albums. The amount of puzzles in the Store Room is limited only with the size of your hard disk. So you do not have to worry about not fitting all the puzzles you wish to have.

Working with puzzles on the desktop

Selecting puzzles

To select a puzzle in the Store Room is similar to working with files in the Windows operating system. If you want to select a puzzle, simply click the left mouse button on it. The edges of every selected puzzle are highlighted. To select two or more puzzles is possible in two ways:

• Hold CTRL key and click on every puzzle.
• Or, place the cursor on that part of the room desktop where there are no puzzles, press the left mouse button and drag the mouse over those puzzles you wish to select.

However, it is not possible to select more puzzles from different albums.

Moving and copying puzzles

To move and copy a puzzle is analogous to working with the Windows operating system.

To move a puzzle, you can simply select it and move it with the pressed left mouse button to the desired place (e.g. to an album).

To copy a puzzle, you can select it, drag it with the pressed CTRL key to the desired place and drop it.

If you move or copy a puzzle into an album, which contains another puzzle of the same name, __PRODUCT_NAME__ automatically adds a number to the puzzle name in order to prevent an album from having two puzzles of the same name inside.

Icon representing a puzzle

	An icon representing a puzzle provides a wide range of information:
	New puzzle (created in the Create Room, received by an email, etc.).
	You are solving the puzzle but you have not finished yet.
	You have solved the puzzle.
	The puzzle is stored in the Store Room for a longer time and it is not being solved.
	All over the surface of the icon, there is a semitransparent sector of a circle which informs you about how far are you with solving the puzzle.
	In the top right corner there is a button that displays the puzzle context menu.
	In the bottom right corner there is a number representing the number of pieces.
	Having a following appearance of the icon a puzzle is a surprise.

More information about your puzzle can be found on the Info panel.
