How to play
The object of the game is to clear the board of cookies by clicking on the tiles. If a square containing a cookie is clicked on the turtle icon, 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. As a memory aid, you can mark a square that you hypothesize has a cookie behind it by clicking on the cookie icon.
You win :)
You lose :(

Learning with CookieSearch
CookieSearch is a exercise in logic.
Modifying CookieSearch
- 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.)
