PUZZLE(1)           RISC/os Reference Manual            PUZZLE(1)



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.
