   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.
  19
  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.
  36
  37 Don't forget to `svn add' the new source file before checkin!
  38
  39 Put the puzzle on the web:
  40  - make a screenshot
  41  - add an entry in the puzzles list in index.html
  42  - adjust the copyright in index.html if the puzzle is by a new
  43    author
  44  - add a link to the Windows binary
  45  - make sure the Windows binary link points at the right binary, not
  46    the wrong one!
  47  - run puzzlesnap
  48  - test that the binary link and the docs link work
  49  - run webupdate
  50  - test again
  51  - `svn add' the binary symlink and the screenshot
  52  - check in the website changes (screenshot, symlink, index.html)
