Most games in this collection don't have one. If you ask them for a hard puzzle, they'll just keep looping round until they actually manage to deliver one. We try to arrange that the standard presets don't take too long to generate, but if the user turns up the game size _and_ uses an expensive difficulty level, our view is that that's up to them. After fixing the bug from the previous commit in which the Galaxies recursion depth limit was not actually doing anything, even 15x15 Unreasonable now generates happily in under a second. So I don't see any reason why Galaxies should be an exception. Hence, now if you ask Galaxies for an Unreasonable puzzle, you _will_ get a puzzle that it grades as Unreasonable, even if that takes a long time to generate.
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/>.
