This package contains a collection of small computer programs which
|
||
|
|
implement one-player puzzle games. All of them run natively on Unix
|
||
|
|
(GTK), on Windows, and on Mac OS X; they can also be played on the
|
||
|
|
web, as Java applets.

Simon Tatham wrote this collection because he thought there should
|
||
|
|
be more small desktop toys available: little games you can pop up
|
||
|
|
in a window and play for two or three minutes while you take a
|
||
|
|
break from whatever else you were doing. And he was also annoyed
|
||
|
|
that every time he found a good game on (say) Unix, it wasn't
|
||
|
|
available the next time he was sitting at a Windows machine, or
|
||
|
|
vice versa; so he arranged that everything in my personal puzzle
|
||
|
|
collection will happily run on both those platforms and more. When
|
||
|
|
he finds (or perhaps invent) further puzzle games that he likes,
|
||
|
|
they'll be added to this collection and will immediately be available
|
||
|
|
on both platforms. And if anyone feels like writing any other front
|
||
|
|
ends - Mac OS pre-10, PocketPC, or whatever it might be - then all
|
||
|
|
the games in this framework will immediately become available on
|
||
|
|
another platform as well.
