Finally, some user-visible behaviour changes as a payoff for all that preparation work! In this commit, the GTK puzzles get a 'Preferences' option in the menu, which presents a dialog box to configure the preference settings. On closing that dialog box, the puzzle preferences are enacted immediately, and also saved to a configuration file where the next run of the same puzzle will reload them. The default file location is ~/.config/sgt-puzzles/<puzzlename>.conf, although you can override the .config dir via $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or override the Puzzles-specific subdir with $SGT_PUZZLES_DIR. This is the first commit that actually exposes all the new preferences work to the user, and therefore, I've also added documentation of all the current preference options.
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/>.
