wmpuzzle - WindowMaker dock app 4x4 puzzle SYNOPSIS
wmpuzzle [options] [xpm image file] DESCRIPTION
wmpuzzle provides a 4x4 puzzle on a 64x64 mini window. It is designed to work with the WindowMaker dock, but will work with other window managers as well. OPTIONS
-h, --help displays a command line summary. -a, --auto-save automatically save the puzzle state on program exit. -k, --keyboard enable use of the keyboard for arrow-key navigation. -s, --shuffle=count shuffle the image count times, defaults to 2000. Using -s prevents loading the saved state from the resource file. -v, --version displays the version number. --display=id Set the display to use, e.g. --display=:0.0. --geometry=pos Set the position of the dock app, e.g. --geometry=+10+10. Note that the size (64x64) is hard-coded and cannot be changed. The image file must be an XPM file with minimum (and recommended) size of 48x48 pixels. If it is larger then the upper left corner will be shown. USAGE
Left mouse click moves the puzzle tiles, right click saves the current state and middle click recovers the last saved state. If -k has been specified the arrow keys and key s and key r will do as well. If the picture has been completed the last element will be shown. FILES
~/.wmpuzzlerc contains the puzzling state of the images. The basename of an image file will be used as its identifier. Use option -s to ignore this file on startup. BUGS
When wmpuzzle complains about not enough free color symbols that's because it needs to add six colors to the XPM's color table and found no free symbols using the according number of characters per pixel. Try to find some unused entries, delete them and correct the size of the color table (the third number in the first line), or enlarge the number of characters per pixel using some imaging program.

HEXAGONS(6) Games Manual HEXAGONS(6) NAME
xhexagons - Hexagons X widget SYNOPSIS
/usr/games/xhexagons [-geometry [{width}][x{height}][{+-}{xoff}[{+-}{yoff}]]] [-display [{host}]:[{vs}]] [-[no]mono] [-[no]{reverse|rv}] [-{foreground|fg} {color}] [-{background|bg} {color}] [-tile {color}] [-text {color}] [-delay msecs] [-[no]sound] [-bumpSound {filename}] [-{font|fn} {fontname}] [-size{x|y} {int}] [-[no]corners] [-base {int}] [-userName {string}] [-scoreFile {filename}] [-scores] [-version] DESCRIPTION
A sliding tile puzzle. A hexagonal version of the 15 puzzle. The 17 puzzle was conceived of by Alwin Vietor and marketed in 1885 in Ger- many as "Trilemma" with round pieces. Sam Cornwell rediscovered this in 1989 with "Clockblocks" of which 12 were numbered using hexagonal pieces. Also he produced a smaller 12 block puzzle with 9 that were numbered called "Ninefield". Also Bernhard Wiezorke came up with the similar 17 puzzle, "Hexafax, the New Fifteen Puzzle", in 1991 and a smaller 11 piece "Counterfax" of which 8 were numbered. FEATURES
If in corners mode: Press "mouse-left" button to move a tile, then release "mouse-left" button on a space. It will not move if blocked. One can only move one tile at a time. The only tiles that can be moved are the tile(s) next to both spaces. If in nocorners mode: Click "mouse-left" button to move a tile. One can move more than one tile at a time and one is not constrained by parity. Click "mouse-right" button, or press "C" or "c" keys, to clear the puzzle. Press "G" or "g" keys to get a saved puzzle. Press "W" or "w" keys to save (write) a puzzle. Press "U" or "u" keys to undo a move. Press "R" or "r" keys to redo a move. Press "Z" or "z" keys to randomize the puzzle. New records can only be set from a cleared state. "S" or "s" keys reserved for the auto-solver (not implemented). Press "O" or "o" keys to toggle corners mode. (Default is on). Press "<" or "," keys to slow down the movement of tiles. Press "@" key to toggle the sound. Press "Esc" key to hide program. Press "Q", "q", or "CTRL-C" keys to kill program. Use the key pad or arrow keys to move without the mouse. Key pad is defined for Hexagons as: 7 9 Upper Left, Upper Right ^ 4< >6 Left, Right v 1 3 Lower Left, Lower Right The control key allows you to change the complexity of xhexagons. Hold down control key and use the keypad or arrow keys to reduce or enlarge puzzle complexity. The title is in the following format (non-motif version): xhexagons: <size> @ (<Number of moves>/{<Record number of moves> <user name>|"NEVER noaccess"}) - <Comment> If there is no record of the current puzzle, it displays "NEVER noaccess". OPTIONS
-geometry {+|-}X{+|-}Y This option sets the initial position of the hexagons window (resource name "geometry"). -display host:dpy This option specifies the X server to contact. -[no]mono This option allows you to display the hexagons window on a color screen as if it were monochrome (resource name "mono"). -[no]{reverse|rv} This option allows you to see the hexagons window in reverse video (resource name "reverseVideo"). -{foreground|fg} color This option specifies the foreground of the hexagons window (resource name "foreground"). -{background|bg} color This option specifies the background of the hexagons window (resource name "background"). -tile color This option specifies the tile color of the tiles in the hexagons window (resource name "tileColor"). -text color This option specifies the text color of the tiles in the hexagons window (resource name "textColor"). -delay msecs This option specifies the number of milliseconds it takes to move a tile or a group of tiles one space (1-50) (resource name "delay"). -[no]sound This option specifies if a sliding tile should make a sound or not (resource name "sound"). -bumpSound filename This option specifies the file for the bump sound for the sliding of the tiles (resource name "bumpSound"). -{font|fn} ontname This option specifies the font that will be used (resource name "font"). -size{x|y} <int> This option allows you to change the number of hexagons in a row or column (resource names "sizeX", "sizeY"). -corners This option specifies the mode where movement is very restrictive (resource name "corners"). -nocorners This option specifies the mode where movement is very easy (resource name "corners"). -base int This option specifies the base used (default is base 10) (resource name "base"). -userName string This option specifies the user name for any records made or else it will get your login name (resource name "userName"). -scoreFile filename Specify an alternative score file (resource name "scoreFile"). -scores This option lists all the recorded scores and then exits. -version This option tells you what version of xhexagons you have. RECORDS
You must randomize the puzzle before a record is set, otherwise an assumption of cheating is made if it is solved after a get. SAVE FORMAT
Here is the format for the xhexagons configuration, starting position, and the movement of its pieces. corners: 0-1 <0 false, 1 true; if 0 then hexagon corners are all snipped> sizeX: 1-10 <number of columns of tiles> sizeY: 1-10 <number of rows of tiles> moves: 0-MAXINT <total number of moves> startingPosition: <array of tile positions where 0 is the empty space for the HIGH hexagon and -1 is the empty space for the LOW hexagon (if present)> This is then followed by the moves, starting from 1. move #: <direction> Direction is represented as 0 upper right, 1 right, 2 lower right, 3 lower left, 4 left, and 5 upper left.
