4 | Things to remember when adding a new puzzle |
5 | ------------------------------------------- |
6 | |
7 | Write the source file for the new puzzle (duhh). |
8 | |

9 | Create a .R file for it which: |
10 | - defines a Recipe symbol for it if it requires auxiliary object |
11 | files |
12 | - adds it to the `ALL' definition, to ensure it is compiled into |
13 | the OS X binary |
14 | - adds it as a GTK build target |
15 | - adds it as a Windows build target |
16 | - adds auxiliary solver binaries if any |
17 | - adds it to $(GAMES) in the GTK makefile, for `make install' |
18 | - adds it to list.c for the OS X binary. |

20 | If the puzzle is by a new author, modify the copyright notice in |
21 | LICENCE and in puzzles.but. (Also in index.html, but that's listed |
22 | below under website changes.) |
23 | |

24 | Double-check that the game structure name in the source file has |
25 | been renamed from `nullgame', so that it'll work on OS X. Actually |
26 | compiling it on OS X would be a good way to check this, if |
27 | convenient. |

28 | |
29 | Add a documentation section in puzzles.but. |
30 | |
31 | Make sure there's a Windows help topic name defined in puzzles.but, |
32 | and that it's referenced by the help topic field in the game |
33 | structure in the source file. |
34 | |
35 | Add the new Unix binary name to the svn:ignore property. |

37 | Don't forget to `svn add' the new source file, and the new .R file, |
38 | before checkin! |

40 | Put the puzzle on the web: |
41 | - make a screenshot |
42 | - add an entry in the puzzles list in index.html |
6193da8d |
43 | - adjust the copyright in index.html if the puzzle is by a new |
44 | author |

45 | - add a link to the Windows binary |
46 | - make sure the Windows binary link points at the right binary, not |
47 | the wrong one! |
48 | - run puzzlesnap |
49 | - test that the binary link and the docs link work |
50 | - run webupdate |
51 | - test again |
52 | - `svn add' the binary symlink and the screenshot |
53 | - check in the website changes (screenshot, symlink, index.html) |
