- <h2>Goal</h2>
- <p> The player is given a solid object with patterned faces which is used to
- replicate a picture. The original is on the right of the screen,
- and the player's copy is on the left.
- The player must try to copy the picture by matching the patterned faces
- of the object with each patterned face in the original picture.
- The player's goal is to copy the picture with the least amount of movement.
- The game records every rotation of the object, so to do well the player must
- keep that number low. The speed of replication is unimportant as the time
- is not recorded.
-
- <h2>How to copy the picture</h2>
- <p>The player must roll the object over until a desired pattern is facing
- upwards. The patterned face can then be dropped in the appropriate position on
- the player's copy. There are two rolling directions, each with its own path
- to roll on. When the object is off these paths, it moves without
- rotating.
-
- <p> To help the player become familiar with the object, there is a rotating copy
- beneath the original picture. As well as observing it, the player may also
- click and drag the object to rotate it at will.
-

- To start over, the player can click on the title words <em>CopyCat</em>.
