A triangular version of the 15 puzzle which was originally made around 1879 (the 14-15 puzzle of Sam Loyd was made soon after). T. R. Dawson in Original Puzzles has a similar puzzle with 4 diamond- and 6 triangular-shaped pieces. This puzzle is easier to solve than 15 puzzle.FEATURESClick "mouse-left" button to move a tile. Clicks on spaces, or clicks on tiles that are not in line with two spaces, will not move tiles. Notice, one can move more than one tile at a time by clicking on the tile farthest from the spaces but still in line with the spaces. Click "mouse-right" button, or press "C" or "c" keys, to clear the puzzle. "S" or "s" keys reserved for the auto-solver (not implemented). 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 "I" or "i" keys to increase the number of tiles. Press "D" or "d" keys to decrease the number of tiles. Press ">" or "." keys to speed up the movement of tiles. 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 Triangles as: 7 9 Upper Left, Upper Right ^ 4< >6 Left, Right v 1 3 Lower Left, Lower Right The title is in the following format (non-motif version): xtriangles: <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 triangles window (resource name "geometry"). -display host:dpy This option specifies the X server to contact. -[no]mono This option allows you to display the triangles window on a color screen as if it were monochrome (resource name "mono"). -[no]{reverse|rv} This option allows you to see the triangles window in reverse video (resource name "reverseVideo"). -{foreground|fg} color This option specifies the foreground of the triangles window (resource name "foreground"). -{background|bg} color This option specifies the background of the triangles window (resource name "background"). -tile color This option specifies the tile color of the tiles in the triangles window (resource name "tileColor"). -text color This option specifies the text color of the tiles in the triangles 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 the tiles (resource name "bumpSound"). -{font|fn} ontname This option specifies the font that will be used (resource name "font"). -size <int> This option allows you to change the number of triangles in a row (resource name "sizeA"). -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 xtriangles you have.RECORDSYou must randomize the puzzle before a record is set, otherwise an assumption of cheating is made if it is solved after a get.SAVE FORMATHere is the format for the xtriangles configuration, starting position, and the movement of its pieces. size: 1-16 <number of tiles in a row of the same orientation as the puzzle> moves: 0-MAXINT <total number of moves> startingPosition: <array of tile positions where 0 is the empty space for the UP triangle and -1 is the empty space for the DOWN triangle> 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.REFERENCESL.
