- INTRODUCTION
-
- Stelly's Puzzle Potpourri is a collection of classic sliding tile puzzles.
- The first of these puzzles, the 14-15 puzzle, was introduced by Sam Loyd
- over a hundred years ago. It was said to have nearly driven folks batty
- trying to solve it. This was due to the fact that the puzzle as originally
- presented was impossible to solve. You should not have quite this much
- difficulty trying to solve these puzzles. The specific goal for each puzzle
- is given in the 'Help' menu. After clicking on 'Help', click on the name of
- the puzzle you are currently trying to solve.
-
- There are a number of ways to move the tiles around on the screen. The
- preferred method is simply to 'click' on the tile you want to move. If
- the tile can move in more than one direction, you should click along the
- edge of the tile in the direction you want it to move. Detailed directions
- on how to move the tiles are available from the 'Help' menu while the
- program is running.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- You must have Microsoft Windows 3.0 in order to run the Puzzle Potpourri.
- To install this program simply copy all the files to a directory of your
- choice. Running "PUZZLE.EXE" will then get everything kicked off.
-
-
- SHAREWARE
-
- This program is shareware and as such is not free. The idea is to try out
- the program, and if you like it -- register it. If you find this program
- useful (or possibly entertaining), then do the right thing and register.
- The registration fee for the Puzzle Potpourri is $15. Registered users
- will be entitled to free technical support and notices of future upgrades.
- Even if you decide not to send any dough, I would appreciate any comments,
- ideas for improvements, and notification of any bugs or problems running
- the program.
-
- You are entitled to make and distribute (for non-commercial purposes only)
- as many copies of this package as you wish. The only restrictions are that
- you must include all the files and they must be unaltered. The files in
- this package include the following:
-
- puzzle.exe
- vbrun100.dll
- register.txt
- readme.txt
-
-
- OTHER STUFF
-
- If anyone is interested, it is possible (for a fee of course) to create
- custom versions of these puzzles. If you have a need for such a thing, send
- me your proposal. If the image is on disk in .BMP, .PCX, or .TIF format,
- the process is fairly straight forward (hence less costly to you).
