The objective of the game is to guide the little mannikin safely off the board (using mouse clicks) without stepping into the growing dark spaces in which he would die. In short: Escape the growing darkness! (sound like real life?)
Note: If the board and the control panel collide you probably need to reduce text display size (usually in the View menu of your browser). Large text size can bloat the control panel beyond available space.
Note: To resize or reposition the board, just reload the page. -- Recommended browser: FireFox (I no longer have time to support other browsers). History: first developed ~1999 for Netscape and IE 4 or so. Later tested with FF 1-1.5, and IE 5/6 (and possibly updated for them). IE and its clones often gave a badly rendered game board. Things remained remarkably stable until, in 2012, Gecko 6.0, no longer supported "document.width" requiring a slight code rewrite preceded by a less slight research of the problem.
