Every square which is not a mirror must be filled with one of +three types of undead monster: a ghost, a vampire, or a zombie. + +Vampires can be seen directly, but are invisible when reflected in +mirrors. Ghosts are the opposite way round: they can be seen in +mirrors, but are invisible when looked at directly. Zombies are +visible by any means. + +Around the edge of the grid are written numbers, which indicate how +many monsters can be seen if you look into the grid along a row or +column starting from that position. (The diagonal mirrors are +reflective on both sides.) You are also told the total number of each +type of monster in the grid. + +This puzzle type was invented by David Millar, under the name +\q{Haunted Mirror Maze}.

If you make a +mistake, click the mouse in the incorrect square and press Space to +clear it again (or use the Undo feature). + +If you \e{right}-click in a square and then type a letter, the +corresponding monster will be shown in reduced size in that square, as +a \q{pencil mark}. You can have pencil marks for multiple monsters in +the same square. A square containing a full-size monster cannot also +contain pencil marks. + +The game pays no attention to pencil marks, so exactly what you use +them for is up to you: you can use them as reminders that a particular +square needs to be re-examined once you know more about a particular +monster, or you can use them as lists of the possible monster in a +given square, or anything else you feel like. + +To erase a single pencil mark, right-click in the square and type +the same letter again. + +All pencil marks in a square are erased when you left-click and type a +monster letter, or when you left-click and press Space. Right-clicking +and pressing space will also erase pencil marks. + +As for Solo, the cursor keys can be used in conjunction with the digit +keys to place monsters or pencil marks. Use the cursor keys to move a +highlight around the grid, and type a monster letter to enter it in +the highlighted square. Pressing return toggles the highlight into a +mode in which you can enter or remove pencil marks. + +If you prefer plain letters of the alphabet to cute monster pictures, +you can press A to toggle between showing the monsters as monsters or +showing them as letters. + +(All the actions described in \k{common-actions} are also available.) + +\H{undead-parameters} \I{parameters, for Undead}Undead parameters + +These parameters are available from the \q{Custom...} option on the +\q{Type} menu. + \dt \e{Width}, \e{Height} \dd Size of grid in squares. @@ -2985,7 +3058,7 @@ This software is \i{copyright} 2004-2012 Simon Tatham.
