281    When you start Enigma, you will be confronted with the main menu, from
282    where you can start a new game, set some options, or leave the game if
283    you've had enough.  The following sections will give you a quick tour
284    of the level menu and the options menu; everything else if hopefully
285    self-explanatory.

296    Pressing ``New Game'' in the main menu leads you to the level menu,
297    which looks something like this:
298    
299    @image{images/levelmenu}
300    
301    The screen consists roughly of three areas: on the top you see a few
302    facts about the currently selected level and the total number of
303    levels, the middle area contains an overview of the available levels
304    and at the bottom is a row of buttons.
305    
306    You can move around the list of levels using either the small arrow
307    buttons to the right or using the arrows keys.  To start a new game,
308    simply click on the preview image of the landscape you want to play or
309    press @key{RET}.
310    
311    The level menu marks the levels that you already solved with a small
312    medal in the upper left corner of the preview image (a silver medal if
313    you solved it in easy mode, a gold medal otherwise).  You can jump to
314    the next unsolved level either by pressing @key{F5} or by pressing the
315    button with the two medals in the bottom row.
316    
317    You can navigate the level menu using the following keys:

343    At first, only 10 levels in every level pack are available for
344    playing.  The other levels are ``locked'', as indicated by the lock
345    symbol in the preview image.  The unlocked levels can be played in any
346    order, and for every completed level, a new level will be unlocked.
347    
348    Enigma comes with many levels.  Many, many levels, in fact.  To keeps
349    things orderly, they have been distributed over five ``level packs'':

351    @itemize @bullet

359    To move between the different level packs, either use the @key{Space}
360    and @key{Backspace} keys, or press the ``Level Pack'' button.
