Introduction
The goal of StarPuzzle is to arrange the two lines such
that they slice the star into ten separate triangles. Any two
triangles can share an edge or a vertex, but cannot overlap.
How to Use StarPuzzle
To move a line, put the stylus down on the screen near the line
endpoint you want to move, drag it to its new position, and
finally lift the stylus again. The line endpoint that was moved
last automatically snaps to the edge of the screen. It becomes
the active endpoint, marked by a black bullet.
To fine-tune the location of an active endpoint one pixel at a
time, use the hardware up/down button on your Palm device.
The up button moves the active endpoint in clockwise
direction, the down button in counter-clockwise
direction.
The program recalculates the current number of valid triangles
and shades them black.
