Now that is over and done with,we can begin the process of solving this game
First, we will need two horses to play the game with, here is two that I got the day of making this guide:

these two horses have 54 possible genetic combinations
Next we will need to open up a text document, either word or notepad or another writing software will work, itÂ’s just a lot easier then using the HEE text box.Here is my usual setup:

Okay so, we have our set up ready, time to copy and paste the first example line into the document, this will be our base:

Go through and looking off the genes, make the corrections for at least 1 possibility of each gene, for one line of text, in this case this:
EE,AA,CcrCcr,rnrn,dd,PrlPrl,zz,Chch,gg,ww,toto,splspl,SbSb,RbRb,oo,lplp,PATN-1patn-1,PATN-2patn-2
Should be:
EE,aa,CcrCcr,rnrn,Dd,PrlPrl,zz,chch,gg,ww,toto,splspl,sbsb,rbrb,oo,lplp,patn-1patn-1,patn-2patn-2

Looking at this, the first gene has variables, I always do them in order. In this case we have heterozygous Ee on both parents, so the possibilities are EE, ee,and Ee so we put these changes into our line.

there we have the 3 possibilities for the first gene along with a set combination of the rest, now we move on to the second gene

In this case gene two has no variables, so we do not change anything.
The same thing happens with genes 3-15, where in this situation they have no variables,so we keep those the same.

now we have Leopard Complex, which much like the first gene, both parents are heterozygous Lplp, so the possibilities are LpLp, lplp, and Lplp,
So, copy and paste the possibilities from the first gene and paste it a space down to keep it separated for now for an easier view of which lines you need to change.

now in this case as this gene has 2 other possibilities from the one we had set in the original we need to have another set of the 3 first variables,

now go through and in the first paste,change the leopard complex gene to the second possible combination, and the second paste as the third

you can now get rid of the spaces between these, as these are now the set you will use for the next gene

Our next gene is PATN-1, once again in this case we have double heterozygous, so we need to copy and paste twice, so we have sections for each of our possible outcomes PATN-1PATN-1, patn-1patn-1and PATN-1patn-1

repeat; in the first paste,change the PATN-1 gene to the second possible combination, and the second paste as the third
https://s1.postimg.org/80tc2rb88f/image.jpg
you can now get rid of the spaces between these, as these are now the set you will use for the next gene
https://s1.postimg.org/8fcj7slr1r/image.jpg
our next gene is PATN-2, in this case one parent is heterozygous but the other one is homozygous recessive, so our possible outcomes are patn-2patn-2 and PATN-2patn-2, as we have patn-2patn-2 in our original we only need to paste once and change it to PATN-2patn-2.

now get rid of the spacing

we are now done, is some cases you will have a lot more pasting, sometimes less, you just need to look at the alleles and the variables
a good way to check that you are most likely correct is your word document should say the number of words, this number should be the same as the number of possible combinations you saw at the beginning

REMEMBER:
watch your casing
take your time
double heterozygous genes will always have 3 possible combinations, so you must double paste
homozygous to heterozygous will always have 2 possible combinations, so you must paste once
double homozygous will always have 1 possible combination, so you will not paste and make sure you have this combination in your base
once you have done all of this, you can copy and past your lines from your word document to the HEE text box.
THINGS TO BE CAREFUL OF WHEN PASTING:
pasting will leave an extra blank line, this will be taken as a guess, while it wont harm your score if you got everything right it will count as an incorrect answer, the simple fix is hitting backspace once, but make sure not to accidentally delete the 2 from the previous line.
If pasting 100 lines or over if you hit backspace it will delete up to the 100th line, including the2 (or sometimes more) of the 100th line, be sure to catch and correct this.
You should now be set to successfully play HEEÂ’s genetics game!
