NAME
      puzzle - 15-puzzle game for X

SYNOPSIS
      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.
