puzzle(1X)puzzle(1X)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.

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.
