Moving around the board is easy enough. Unexplored nodes in the system are marked as green. Clicking on an unexplored node will reveal its contents: if the node is empty, it will turn orange and allow you to further explore nodes adjacent to it. Sometimes, however, a node will contain an obstacle or other item of interest. | Moving around the board is easy enough. Unexplored nodes in the system are marked as green.

The numbers can be used to guide the direction that you should move around the grid. | ||
