It so happened that after the release of the demo version of the logical game "COLOR LINES", created by programmers from the city of Rybinsk (SURDAKAR GROUP), we received a similar program in our editorial office, but from Moscow. It was written by the Grepan brothers, known for the program "СЧИТАЛКА" (see "S" N12). We agreed with the authors to include the Moscow version of "COLOR LINES" in the next issue of the magazine. Today we present this program for your judgment. It is included in the "APPENDIX". There you can also find a demonstration video for the program "ПОЛЕ ЧУДЕС".
