KEY	ACTION
2nd	Self Destruct
Alpha	Pull a block
Arrow keys	Move figure/push a block

Objective-Advance your figure(little +) to the big plus sign by pushing and pulling the white moveable blocks out of the way. Push blocks by running into them, use assigned key to pull them.

Other blocks- Teleports-The small x is the one that warps you, the x with dots around the corners is where you go.Don't forget that teleports are only one way and that you can pull blocks.

4.1 Scoring

• Scoring is based on two things. 1)How efficient you are,ie. time vs work done. 2)How well you solve the puzzle,ie. your number of moves vs. lowest possible number of moves. The two parts are averaged together to get an integer score from 0-10.

5.1 Troubleshooting

• You get a memory full error- Delete other programs to make room for Brick Block.
• I don't know how to transfer the program to my calc- Read the instructions that came with your link software.

5.2 Known Bugs/Problems

• There are no known bugs.
