Package: sgt-puzzles Version: 8541-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch While translating the sgt puzzle's help file to German I noticed that black boxs help is written very sloppy (more on that below) and even contains errors (cf. the following lines which I patched):
"As shown, it is possible for a ball to receive multiple reflections before "
"As shown, it is possible for a laser to receive multiple reflections before "
"re-emerging (see turn 3). Similarly, a ball may be reflected (possibly more "
"re-emerging (see turn 3). Similarly, a laser may be reflected (possibly more "
The patch is in line with the style of the remaining help. Howver, this style
is *very* sloppy. In the help, the refernce is always to laser which
enter and emerge the grid. This is confusing and wrong, as not the
laser but the laser beam (short: beam) is traversing the grid while
the laser of course remains stationary on the edge.
So I (additionally) suggest to replace most of the occurences of
"laser" by "laser beam" or simply "beam", e.g. in the following:
-"arena and observing how they are deflected."
+"arena and observing how their beams are deflected."
-"Lasers will fire straight until they hit the opposite side of the arena (at "
+"Lasers beam will traverse straight until they hit the opposite side of the
arena (at "
If you agree with the rewording, I can provide a complete patch.
