   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 Make a screenshot:
  38  - create an appropriate save file in `icons'
  39  - add the puzzle name to icons/Makefile
  40  - set up a REDO property in icons/Makefile if desired
  41
  42 Don't forget to `svn add' the new source file, the new .R file and
  43 the save file in `icons', before checkin!
  44
  45 Put the puzzle on the web:
  46  - run puzzlesnap first
  47  - make sure the screenshot has arrived in the www directory
  48  - make sure the Windows binary link has appeared, and that it
  49    points at the right binary
  50  - add an entry in the puzzles list in index.html
  51  - adjust the copyright in index.html if the puzzle is by a new
  52    author
  53  - test that the binary link and the docs link work
  54  - run webupdate
  55  - test again
  56  - `svn add' the binary symlink
  57  - check in the website changes (symlink, index.html)
