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).
