How to play

The object of the game is to clear the board by clicking on the cells. In each cell, you can click on either the turtle or the red cookie. If a turtle is clicked, and the cell contains a cookie, you lose the game. Otherwise, a number is shown; how many surrounding cells contain cookies. If there are no surrounding cookies, the cell is blank, and the surrounding cells are revealed. When you determine that a cell contains a cookie, click on the red cookie to mark it as such. After all cookies have been marked, and all turtles clicked on, the game will be won.

Learning with Cookie Search

Cookie Search is a exercise in logic.

Modifying Cookie Search

Replace the artwork with your own designs. (Note that the way in which the program distinguishes between the turtle and the cookie is by looking at the red component of the image. Pixels with red values between 190 and 210 are "cookie"; all other values are considered turtle.)

Your suggestions for enhancements and/or use cases...

-The object of the game is to clear the board of cookies by clicking on the turtle icon cells.  If a turtle icon cell contains a cookie and is clicked on, you lose the game.  Otherwise, a number is shown indicating the number of adjacent squares that contain cookies.  If there are no adjacent cookies, the square is blank, and the surrounding squares are revealed.  If you determine that a turtle icon cell contains a cookie, click to mark it as such.  After all cookies have been marked, open the remaining turtle icon cells to finish the game.  As a memory aid, you can mark a square that you hypothesize has a cookie behind it by clicking on the cookie icon.
