PUZZLE(6X)                           BSD                            PUZZLE(6X)



NAME
     puzzle - 15-puzzle game for X

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/X11/puzzle [-option ...]

OPTIONS
     -display display
             This option specifies the display to use; see X(1).

     -geometry geometry
             This option specifies the size and position of the puzzle window;
             see X(1).

     -size WIDTHxHEIGHT
             This option specifies the size of the puzzle in squares.

     -speed num
             This option specifies the speed in tiles per second for moving
             tiles around.

     -picture filename
             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.

     -colormap
             This option indicates that the program should create its own
             colormap for the picture option.

DESCRIPTION
     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.
