Game should now, more-or-less, be playable.
Use arrow keys to move through the tiles. (CTRL-arrow keys move without "smart-skip", in case you have to reach an odd tile.)
Use 1-9 to set a value to a tile
Use 0 to clear the value for a tile.
Set the values of the tiles, until you make all the totals match.
** Instead of leaving a set of number of tiles already visible, I let YOU pick and choose which ones you want to show. First CONST for the game is the difficultly, and that directly cooresponds to the number of hints you get. At difficulty 5, you get 5 hints to help you solve the puzzle.
To use a hint, simply press "S" (for show), "H" (for hint), or "?" (question mark), and the game will fill in the tile that you're currently over and subtract one from your total number of hints.
Remember -- RED triangles are the sum of blocks going DOWN. BLUE triangles give you the sum of blocks going RIGHT.
You don't even need an EXACT match to win -- just so long as those TOTALS match!
Sounds simple, right?
Give it a go and see how well you can do at CROSSMATH!!
(And for those who wonder what I mean by EXACT matches not being required to win, let me do the simplest of illustrations:
6
?

?
Now, if the above is our clue and puzzle, there's 3 blocks we need to fill in, and the red 6 tells us the total is 6. Any of the following would do for the win here:
4, 1, 1
3, 2, 1
3, 1, 2
2, 2, 2
and so on....
You just need to make those values reach the totals, in the direction indicated, to win.
