I wrote this collection because I thought there should be more small
desktop toys available: little games you can pop up in a window and
play for two or three minutes while you take a break from whatever
-else you were doing. And I was also annoyed that every time I found a
-good game on (say) \i{Unix}, it wasn't available the next time I was
-sitting at a \i{Windows} machine, or vice versa; so I arranged that
-everything in my personal puzzle collection will happily run on both.
-When I find (or perhaps invent) further puzzle games that I like,
-they'll be added to this collection and will immediately be available
-on both platforms. And if anyone feels like writing any other front
-ends - Mac OS, PocketPC, or whatever it might be - then all the games
-in this framework will immediately become available on another
-platform as well.

The actual games in this collection were mostly not my invention; I
saw them elsewhere, and rewrote them in a form that was more

The games in this collection deliberately do not ever save
information on to the computer they run on: they have no high score
tables and no saved preferences. (This is because I expect at least
