NAME

       puzzle - 15-puzzle game for X

SYNOPSIS

       puzzle [-option...]

OPTIONS

       This  option  specifies	the display to use; see X(1X).	This option specifies the size and position of the puzzle window; see X(1X).  This
       option specifies the size of the puzzle in squares.  This option specifies the speed in tiles per second for  moving  tiles  around.   This
       option  specifies  an  image  file  containing  the picture to use on the tiles.  Try "mandrill.cm."  This only works on 8-bit pseudo-color
       screens.  This option indicates that the program should create its own colormap for the picture option.

DESCRIPTION

       Executing puzzle with no arguments plays a 4x4 15-puzzle.  The control bar has two boxes in it.	Clicking in the  left  box  scrambles  the
       puzzle.	 Clicking  in the right box solves the puzzle.	Clicking the middle button anywhere else in the control bar causes puzzle to exit.
       Clicking in the tiled region moves the empty spot to that location if the region you click in is in the same row or  column  as	the  empty
       slot.

BUGS

       The picture option should work on a wider variety of screens.
