C89 provided only double-precision mathematical functions (sin() etc), and so despite using single-precision elsewhere, those are what Puzzles has traditionally used. C99 introduced single-precision equivalents (sinf() etc), and I hope it's been long enough that we can safely use them. Maybe they'll even be faster. Rather than directly use the single-precision functions, though, we use the magic macros from <tgmath.h> that automatically choose the precision of mathematical functions based on their arguments. This has the advantage that we only need to change which header we include, and thus that we can switch back again if some platform has trouble with the new header.
This is the README accompanying the source code to Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. The collection's web site is at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/>. The puzzle collection is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in the source directory: cmake . cmake --build . The manual is provided in Windows Help format for the Windows build; in text format for anyone who needs it; and in HTML for the Mac OS X application and for the web site. It is generated from a Halibut source file (puzzles.but), which is the preferred form for modification. To generate the manual in other formats, rebuild it, or learn about Halibut, visit the Halibut website at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
