Illuminations››                             Atari User Vol.2 No.7››This is rather different to the usual arcade and shoot-'em-up games. It is a›challenge of wits, not joystick dexterity.››The micro will select a random pattern of blocks on a three-by-three grid. Your›task is to rearrange the blocks so that they are all illuminated, bar the centre›one. It is simple when you get the hang of it - but then so was the Rubik Cube!››You control the program with keys 1 to 9. Each will invert a section of the›grid, as shown in Figure I. For example, if you press 5 every square is›affected - each dark square will light and each illuminated square will go›blank.››On the Novice level you have as long as you want to complete your task, so it is›a good idea to get some practice here.››On Advanced level you have a time limit of 20 seconds to finish - which isn't›too hard once you've got the hang of the controls.››Genius level is the hardest of all - you have only 15 seconds per game, and the›Atari will occasionally throw in a move of its own to throw you off the scent.››  Key    Squares    Key    Squares    Key    Squares›numbers  altered  numbers  altered  numbers  altered›          - - -             - - -             - - -›         |*|*| |           |*| | |           | | | |›          - - -             - - -             - - -›   1     |*|*| |     4     |*| | |     7     |*|*| |›          - - -             - - -             - - -›         | | | |           |*| | |           |*|*| |›          - - -             - - -             - - -››          - - -             - - -             - - -›         |*|*|*|           |*|*|*|           | | | |›          - - -             - - -             - - -›   2     | | | |     5     |*|*|*|     8     | | | |›          - - -             - - -             - - -›         | | | |           |*|*|*|           |*|*|*|›          - - -             - - -             - - -››          - - -             - - -             - - -›         | |*|*|           | | |*|           | | | |›          - - -             - - -             - - -›   3     | |*|*|     6     | | |*|     9     | |*|*|›          - - -             - - -             - - -›         | | | |           | | |*|           | |*|*|›          - - -             - - -             - - -›Figure I: Keyboard control codes›
