How do I play Vexed?

Go to the Instructions page for more info.

How do I get past level (fill in your stuck level here)?

Solutions for all levels are built-in to the program. Select the Levels Menu, then the Show Solution option. Note that viewing the solution will add 5 to your score.

I beat your score, you have a problem with your program!

Congratulations! The par score is just that, par. It is calculated by the tool that created the level. It is not guaranteed to be the minimum number of moves to solve the level. However, if you've found a solution with a significant number of fewer moves, we would like to hear about it. Significant would be 10-15 moves, or 25% fewer.

What hardware/OS level is supported?

Vexed should run on all Palm OS devices with OS 2.0 or greater. Please email us if you have a device which won't run Vexed.

The hires version does not work on my Sony Clie

That's known issue. Unfortunately, Sony devices need slightly different code to handle hi-res modes than all the other PalmOS devices, and we were unable to add this prior the release. Please install low-res version instead.

Using a Sony Clie I installed Vexed using the Installer .prc file, and the game does not work

The installer detects you use hi-res device and installs proper binary, however as described above, Vexed does not handle Sony's hi-res yet. You have to replace installed Vexed with low-res version.

If I'd like to share Vexed with my friends, what files shall I send them?

The best way would be to download install version of Vexed from this site (or SF), but you can also beam Vexed from your Palm directly. Please remember you need to beam at least one levelpack with Vexed, as starting from version 2.1, no single levelpack is no longer merged with the game itself.

Can I use HiRes version on any Palm? What's with the Low-Res version?

Vexed comes in two builds - hires for all devices capable of handling colorful, 320x320 graphics. If your device does not handle 320x320 mode, you shall use low-res build which works on any PalmOs device with colour or monochrome display.
