===To Design A Group===
Let's go to the section where you design your pattern. From the "Color Life" selection list, press 2. A screen appears with the cursor symbol in the center. The cursor (pen) is in the "write" mode, but shows no color. If you want to start your design at another point on the screen, press the '''PEN''' key until you see the symbol for the "move" mode (□). Move the pen to the desired spot (using the cursor movement keys). Then press the '''PEN''' key until the cursor is in the "write" mode again (◊). Press the color key for the first color you want to use. (The pen will not change color unless the cursor is in the "write" mode.) Then use the directional (cursor movement) keys to draw your pattern on the screen. You can change the color of the pen by pressing the color key for the new color (when the cursor is in the "write" mode).
If you place a small design on one side of the screen and want to place another design at a different place, simply press the '''PEN''' key until the cursor is in the "move" mode (□). Then use the directional keys to move the cursor. Press '''PEN''' until you see the "write" symbol (◊),and continue as described above. You can also erase squares you have placed on the screen. Press the '''PEN''' key until you see the "erase" symbol (+). Then move the cursor (with the directional keys) over the squares you want to erase.
After you have completed designing your pattern, press '''START'''. Watch your design grow and develop. See what interesting patterns you can make. As you gain more and more experience, you will probably develop patterns from which you can predict the outcome. It's exciting to see the designs and colors grow and change.
