to it giving each game's "internal" name (as seen in the source file,
.R etc) and also a brief description of the game. The idea of the
latter is that it should be usable as a comment field in .desktop
files and similar.

defining it centrally per port, I think it's neater to define it for
each puzzle when adding that puzzle to the ALL list - because those
front ends which take -DCOMBINED are precisely those which use ALL.
In particular, this change opens up the possibility of compiling
both individual puzzles _and_ a combined monolith within the same
makefile.

failed to point out a declaration after a statement, and gcc's
linker was clever enough to optimise the call to divvy_rectangle()
out of solosolver so that I didn't have to include divvy.c in that.)

(require both main diagonals to have one of every digit in addition
to all the usual constraints) and Jigsaw Sudoku (replace the array
of rectangular sub-blocks with the sub-blocks being random
polyominoes). To implement the latter, I've moved my `divvy.c'
library routine out of the `unfinished' subdirectory.
Jigsaw mode is currently an undocumented feature: you enable it by
setting the rows parameter to 1 (and the columns parameter to your
desired grid size, which unlike normal Sudoku can be anything you
like including a prime number). The reason it's undocumented is
because generation times are not yet reliably short: sometimes
generating a jigsaw-type puzzle can hang for hours and still get
nowhere. (The algorithm should terminate in principle, but not in
any time you're prepared to wait.) I _think_ I know how to solve
this, but have yet to try it. Until then, jigsaw mode will remain a
hidden feature.
Printing of X-type puzzles is also substandard at present, because
the current print-colour API replaces the desired light shading of
the X-cells with heavy diagonal hatching. I plan to adjust the API
imminently to address this.

This means that puzzles.rc2 is always included in all Windows and
PocketPC builds, which in turn means that I should be able to start
filling it full of VERSIONINFO and have that reliably included as
well.

infrastructure to the mkfiles.pl framework for the convenience of
the build script: it generates `wingames.lst', a list of the Windows
binaries which are ship-worthy games as opposed to nullgame or
command-line auxiliary programs.

mkfiles.pl change (I don't seem to be planning ahead very well this
week), this time to provide a list of fallback options for an object
file. That way, I have a no-icon.c which quietly replaces
icons/foo-icon.c if the latter doesn't exist, and so again people
checking straight out from Subversion shouldn't have trouble.

Windows puzzle binaries. This checkin involves several distinct
changes:
- mkfiles.pl now has an extra feature: if an object file is listed
in Recipe with a trailing question mark, it will be considered
optional, and silently dropped from the makefile if its primary
source file isn't present at the time mkfiles.pl runs. This means
people who check out the puzzles from Subversion and just run
mkfiles.pl shouldn't get build failures; they just won't get the
icons.
- all the .R files now use this feature to include an optional
Windows resource file.
- the .rc resource source files are built by icons/Makefile.
- windows.c finds the icon if present and uses it in place of the
standard Windows application icon.
[originally from svn r7020]
when testing a new game, so here's a new architecture for the Recipe
file. mkfiles.pl now supports several new features:
- an `!include' directive, which accepts wildcards
- += to append to an existing object group definition
- the ability to divert output to an arbitrary file.
So now each puzzle has a `.R' file containing a fragment of Recipe
code describing that puzzle, and the central Recipe does `!include
*.R' to construct the Makefiles. That way, I can keep as many
experimental half-finished puzzles lying around my working directory
as I like, and I won't have to keep reverting Recipe when I check in
any other changes.
As part of this change, list.c is no longer a version-controlled
file; it's now constructed by mkfiles.pl, so that it too can take
advantage of this mechanism.
