[1] Introduction
** Explains briefly what this FAQ could offer.

[2] Symbols to number assignments
** Conversion used for the numbers /\ to X - 0 to 3.

[3] Password Table
** A handy reference for making Lomax Passwords. Basically a table of
  repeating patterns involving the numbers 0(zero) to 3(three). Well,
  lets just say that our number system may look weird from time to
  time.

[4] Making Lomax Passwords
** A brief explanation with examples on how to make Lomax Passwords
  to transport us into the desired level, alongside with the desired
  number of lives and continues...

[5] The "[+|-]" sign...
** We use this notation to compute for some patterns.

| [1] Introduction                                                |
-------------------------------------------------------------------
** This game has an eight-character password system composed of the
  three basic playstation symbols (/\, O, [], X). Each password
  string encapsulates the STAGE, number of LIVES and CONTINUES.
  This FAQ should enable everyone to create and modify Lomax pass-
  words using the numbers 0 to 3...

-------------------------------------------------------------------
| [2] Symbols to number assignments                               |
-------------------------------------------------------------------
** To avoid confusion we'll be using this assignments for each basic
  Playstation symbols:
     --------------------
     |  Symbol   |Value |
     --------------------
     |  Triangle |  0   |
     |  Circle   |  1   |
     |  Square   |  2   |
     |  X        |  3   |
     --------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------
| [3] Password Table                                              |
-------------------------------------------------------------------
** Since the construction of the password string is eight-characters
  of a selecion for 4 figures then each password string should
  revolve/rotate between the numbers 0 to 3 while dividing itself
  from some divisible to 2, 4, 8, 16, and so on figures...

| [4] Making Lomax Passwords                                      |
-------------------------------------------------------------------
** In order for us to build an eight-character Lomax Password we are
  allowed to chose one shape/value from those 4 playstation shapes
  (respectively numbered from 0 to 3) for each character that forms
  the string. We would need to give 3 values before we could start
  making our desired password - 1) what stage; 2) how many lives;
  30 how many continues - do we really want. Lets say we would want
  to create the password that would take us to
  <stage 16; with 0 Life and 1 continue>:

  Heres how:
  1st character/shape: B3 [+|-] L5
  2nd character/shape: Reverse [+|-] B2 [+|-] L1
  3rd character/shape: B1
  4th character/shape: B2
  5th character/shape: B4 + L4
  6th character/shape: L2
  7th character/shape: L3
  8th character/shape: Continues

  So we want to go to stage 16 with 0 Life and 1 Continue...

  The first password character would be derived from B3 [+|-] L5:
  Basing on our Password Table above, B3 for stage 16 would be 3;
  L5 for 0 Life would be 2. So 3 [+|-] 2 would result to 1. So we
  now have 1 for our first character; and 1 would be coverted to
  the Circle symbol says our Symbols to number assignments.

  Our second character would be derived from
  Reverse [+|-] B2 [+|-] L1: We check again our Password Table;
  thus, 3[+|-]3[+|-]0. Our second character woul result again to 1.

  Then B1 and B2 would be 3...

  We'll derive our 5th character from B4+L4...
  B4 which is 1 + L4 which is 0 would be 1... And so on...

  If we follow the above how-tos we would get the password for
  stage 16 with 0 Life and 1 Continue...

  We would get this result: 1 1 3 3 1 3 1 1 =
          Circle Circle X X Circle X Circle Circle

-------------------------------------------------------------------
| [5] The "[+|-]" sign...                                         |
-------------------------------------------------------------------
** Add the numbers if the result would be 3 or less...
  Subtract if the result would be more than 3...
