I wrote this collection because I thought there should be more small
desktop toys available: little games you can pop up in a window and
play for two or three minutes while you take a break from whatever
else you were doing. And I was also annoyed that every time I found a
good game on (say) \i{Unix}, it wasn't available the next time I was
sitting at a \i{Windows} machine, or vice versa; so I arranged that
everything in my personal puzzle collection will happily run on both.
When I find (or perhaps invent) further puzzle games that I like,
they'll be added to this collection and will immediately be available
on both platforms. And if anyone feels like writing any other front
ends - Mac OS, PocketPC, or whatever it might be - then all the games
in this framework will immediately become available on another
platform as well.
