Subject: Pentominos.hqx (pentomino-puzzle-solving application)
This is a little program that solves pentomino puzzles
(trying to place the 12 tiles that can be made out of 5
connected squares onto an 8-by-8 board). It's not all that
interesting, except that
-- it gives a nice visual picture of depth-first searching
with backtracking
-- it will work on several puzzles at once and is active
in the background
-- it is an example of a program written using "MacStarter_C",
an application shell useful(?) for knocking off small programs
in THINK C. I am posting MacStarter_C separately to info_mac.
