Launcher for Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection

This is a two-click launcher for the puzzle collection (found in package 283), meaning that with this package installed as well, you get just one icon on the desktop instead of one per game (which is many - 27 at the time of writing).

With this, you click once to start the launcher, then once more in the launcher to start the game you want.

There's also a repository that can be used for installation, to get upgrades automatically. See the homepage for details.

Tested on previous SHR-U - known to not work on latest SHR-U due to a rename of the elementary library files (an updated version is coming).

Nice..

But requires >10 symlinks for enlightenment on OM2009 (I know I\\\'m studpid, don\\\'t tell me)

Miloss: I don't really see what could require that many symlinks for this launcher to work... So I can't fix the problem without more details:
What symlinks (where, pointing to what)?
What exactly doesn't work without them?

Could I divide all the games, in order to be able to install only one game (example: Net)?

Airon90: Well, sure, with a tiny bit of work, you could do that... Depending on what you're after though, you might not need to. And, you wouldn't use this package for that, just package 283 (sgt-puzzles - which contains the actual games themselves - this package only contains the two-click launcher program).

If what you want is to have just the one game on the desktop, you can just install the sgt-puzzles package as-is and use the included script to remove the icons for all the other games.

If, on the other hand, what you want is to save space (it's just 2.6 MB total though), you could extract the games from the sgt-puzzles package file on your desktop PC and just copy over the game you're interested in. (wget, ar, tar, scp)

Hey!
I can't install the launcher on the new image of SHR.
Apparently a dependency is not satisfied. It's a problem with elementary (>= 2:0.0.0+svnr41040-r6) .
How can I solve this problem?

Thanks!

Same as gromain in today's SHR-U!

gromain, BiggMatt: This is because Enlightenment has renamed some of its libraries, including Elementary, and the new version of SHR-U uses updated versions of those libs (while my OM toolchain doesn't).

I don't use the updated SHR-U yet, and don't have a build environment for the renamed libraries - there's no toolchain for it yet - so I can't currently build an updated version of this, nor test workarounds.
There's an issue in SHR's trac (#764) about getting a toolchain to work with, so hopefully one will be available soon; when it is, I'll build and release a new version.

Apparently, Intone had this same problem, and it could be worked around with a force-install and adding some symlinks in the lib dir; that will probably work for this program too, but I can't check personally.

The following worked for me: (on todays SHR-Unstable)

Install, ignoring dependencies:
opkg install http://ipk.edorfaus.info/armv4t/sgt-puzzles-launcher_10_armv4t.ipk --force-depends

make some symlinks:

Hi. Nice game but the link is down. :(

@Larku, thanks.. those are the symlinks I had in mind..

Unfortunately it does not work with newer SHR-U at all. (even with symlinks)
the app starts, but fails to resize properly or respond to clicks, rest of the window is black.
