Loopy mark LINE_NO grid edges with very faint lines, instead of leaving them totally undrawn. Helps in complex grid types where the line layout isn't entirely obvious to a player not already familiar with it. Disableable by setting LOOPY_FAINT_LINES=n in the environment, just in case anyone turns out to seriously dislike it. (You could probably disable it via LOOPY_COLOUR_6 too, but you'd have to know the exact shade of your background to get that right.) [originally from svn r8597]
This is the README accompanying the source code to Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. The collection's web site is at <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/>. If you've obtained the source code by downloading a .tar.gz archive from the Puzzles web site, you should find several Makefiles in the source code. However, if you've checked the source code out from the Puzzles Subversion repository, you won't find the Makefiles: they're automatically generated by `mkfiles.pl', so run that to create them. The Makefiles include: - `Makefile' should work under GNU make on Linux, provided you have GTK installed to compile and link against. It builds GTK binaries of the puzzle games. - `Makefile.vc' should work under MS Visual C++ on Windows. - `Makefile.cyg' should work under Cygwin / MinGW. With appropriate tweaks and setting of TOOLPATH, it should work for both compiling on Windows and cross-compiling on Unix. - `Makefile.osx' should work under Mac OS X, provided the Xcode tools are installed. It builds a single monolithic OS X application capable of running any of the puzzles, or even more than one of them at a time. - `Makefile.wce' should work under MS eMbedded Visual C++ on Windows and the Pocket PC SDK; it builds Pocket PC binaries. Many of these Makefiles build a program called `nullgame' in addition to the actual game binaries. This program doesn't do anything; it's just a template for people to start from when adding a new game to the collection, and it's compiled every time to ensure that it _does_ compile and link successfully (because otherwise it wouldn't be much use as a template). Once it's built, you can run it if you really want to (but it's very boring), and then you should ignore it. DO NOT EDIT THE MAKEFILES DIRECTLY, if you plan to send any changes back to the maintainer. The makefiles are generated automatically by the Perl script `mkfiles.pl' from the file `Recipe' and the various .R files. If you need to change the makefiles as part of a patch, you should change Recipe, *.R, and/or mkfiles.pl. 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 <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
