This is a collection of games, and some useful widgets which have been used in their construction. I've tested everything here with the original R6 release, but only on a Sparc-10 running SunOS 4. The Widgets (Xkw/): Layout a constraint based geometry widget. Included in this release is some code purported to make it work with Motif; I cannot test that as I do not have access to Motif. Hand, Cards Playing card management widget; does all of the nasty redisplay and layout of stacks of overlapping cards. Cards is a subclass and deals with regular playing cards. Message Utilities which allow a printf-style interface to the Athena Label widget. Pad A text display widget; handles scrolling and simple repaint. More powerful than Label as it optimizes repaint, but it only handles char cell fonts. Thermo Displays a "thermometer" for indicating a bounded-range value. Draws tick-marks and numbers. Handles both vertical and horizontal orientation. The Games (everything else). For rules on how to play them, consult Hoyle or just play around and see what they'll let you do. dominos Double 9 dominos against the computer. kcanfield Standard Canfield solitare. kcribbage Cribbage against the computer. The score keeping widget is not very pretty. kklondike "Regular" solitaire. kmontana An interesting single-deck solitaire. Stolen from the Macintosh game of the same name. kspider The classic double-deck solitaire. Probably the most interesting game here. kthieves 40-thieves. I've only seen this won a few times. ktowers A perfect-knowledge single deck game. Nearly every configuration can be eventually solved. mcarlo Monte-carlo. A very simple matching solitaire. Written by Dave Lemke reversi Or "Othello", except that that name is copywritten. slyfox Any easier double-deck solitaire. This one includes instructions; see slyfox-rules. Written by Dave Lemke xmille My first X program. Doesn't look much like the original anymore, except for the gory pictures. Keith Packard keithp@ncd.com June 6, 1994
