Puzzle for G-Windows
Copyright 1995 by Stephen Carville
This is a computerized version of an old game. Fifteen numbered "squares"
are presented to you in a randomly determined order and you must put them
back in sequence. The object is to complete the puzzle in as few moves as
possible. To make things more interesting, a file is maintained with the
ten best scores on the system.
To start the game either double click on the program icon or type the name
"puzzle" followed by a carriage return at the shell prompt.
You will first be presented with a copyright message and a list of the top
ten scores on your system. If this is the first time the program has been
run it will create the necessary files but, naturally, won't have any "high
scores" yet.
To move a square just move the cursor onto the square and click the mouse
button. If the empty space is adjacent the selected piece it will move into
it. The number of moves you've made is displayed just above the playing
field. When you have completed the puzzle, if appropriate, you will be
prompted for a name to enter into the high score file and the playing field
will be reset.
Good Luck! +----+----+----+----+

Technical Stuff:
This program requires that you have the button_gadget, frame_gadget and
vartext_gadget available. If any one is missing the program will
terminate. These are normally distributed with G-windows so I don't
anticipate any problems.
The ten best scores are kept in a file called ".puzzle.scores" in the
GWINDOWS/SYS directory on the default disk device specified by your init
program. This is usually "/dd". If the path is available the score file
will be created automatically. If the path does not exist or is not
available to a player the puzzle can still be played but the "high score"
feature is disabled.
