   This page contains a collection of small computer programs whichimplement   
   one-player puzzle games. All of them run natively on Unix(GTK), on Windows,   
   and on Mac OS X. They can also be played on theweb, as Java or Javascript   
   applets.I wrote this    
   collection because I thought there should be more smalldesktop toys available:   
   little games you can pop up in a window andplay for two or three minutes while   
   you take a break from whateverelse you were doing. And I was also annoyed that   
   every time I    
   found agood game on (say) Unix, it wasn't available the next time I wassitting   
   at a Windows machine, or vice versa; so I arranged thateverything in my   
   personal puzzle collection will happily run on boththose platforms and more.   
   When I find (or perhaps    
   invent) furtherpuzzle games that I like, they'll be added to this collection   
   and willimmediately be available on both platforms. And if anyone feels   
   likewriting any other front ends for platforms I don't support (whichpeople   
   already have) then all the    
   games in this framework willimmediately become available on another platform   
   as well.The gamesThe actual games in this collection were mostly not my   
   invention;they are re-implementations of existing game concepts within   
   myportable puzzle framework. I do    
   not claim credit, in general, forinventing the rules of any of these puzzles.   
   (I don't even claimauthorship of all the code; some of the puzzles below have   
   beensubmitted by other authors.)Below each image are two links to versions of   
   the puzzle you    
   canpotentially play on the web. The 'js' link (and also the puzzle   
   imageitself) links to a version based on JavaScript and WebAssembly. The'java'   
   link is now probably obsolete: it links to a Java applet, whichmost browsers   
   don't support any more.Also    
   below each image is a link to the Windows binary for the game,and a link to   
   the manual. For all other platforms, the games areprovided in a single bundle,
