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.

in the 'unfinished' directory for a while, and has now been finished
up thanks to James Harvey putting in some effort and galvanising me to
put in the rest. This is 'Pearl', an implementation of Nikoli's 'Masyu'.
The code in Loopy that generates a random loop along grid edges to use
as the puzzle solution has been abstracted out into loopgen.[ch] so
that Pearl can use it for its puzzle solutions too. I've also
introduced a new utility module called 'tdq' (for 'to-do queue').

to add two kinds of Penrose tiling to the grid types supported by
Loopy.
This has involved a certain amount of infrastructure work, because of
course the whole point of Penrose tilings is that they don't have to
be the same every time: so now grid.c has grown the capacity to
describe its grids as strings, and reconstitute them from those string
descriptions. Hence a Penrose Loopy game description consists of a
string identifying a particular piece of Penrose tiling, followed by
the normal Loopy clue encoding.
All the existing grid types decline to provide a grid description
string, so their Loopy game descriptions have not changed encoding.

doesn't have diagnostics embedded and the ASCII formatter can't
print non-square puzzles anyway; but it can grade difficulty, which
is what I most immediately want it for.

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.

Lambrou. Now capable of handling triangular and hexagonal grids as
well as square ones, and then a number of semiregular plane tilings
and duals of semiregular ones. In fact, most of the solver code
supports an _arbitrary_ planar graph (well, provided both the graph
and its dual have no self-edges), so it could easily be extended
further with only a little more effort.

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.
