XCubes is a puzzle for X Window System. Your goal is to exchange the numbered panels to be in order.

XDino, dino puzzle game for X11. XDino is the puzzle game like as a rubik's cube, not 9 but 4 pieces on a surface.

The original puzzle has 9 triangles per face (size = 3) and has period 3 turning (i.e. the face or points turn in 120 degree intervals). The puzzle was designed by Uwe Meffert and called the Pyraminx. This has 2^5*3^8*6!/2 or 75,582,720 different combinations. Another puzzle Senior Pyraminx 3x3x3 exists only on paper, it has period 2 turning (i.e. edges turn with 180 degree intervals) but the corners would fall off unless it had some tricky mechanism. (This may be the same as the Master Pyraminx which has 446,965,972,992,000 different combinations). Another puzzle (which was not widely distributed), the Junior Pyraminx (and similarly the Junior Pyraminx Star, a octahedron formed by two tetrahedra, this has 7!*3^6 or 3,674,160 different combinations), has 4 triangles (size = 2) per face and at the time I designed this computer puzzle thought that it had only period 2 turning (i.e the edges rotate). It turns out the puzzle has a period 4 turning (edges turn with 90 degree intervals) which makes it analogous to the 2x2x2 Rubik's cube. This puzzle makes various non-tetrahedral shapes. The puzzle contained here has no period 4 turning flexability.

Hexagons is a puzzle similar in nature to the Fifteen Puzzle. By building from the source and editing its Imakefile before the ``build'' phase, you may be able to use Motif or LessTif with this port.

Masterball is a puzzle similar in nature to the famous Rubik's Cube. The original puzzle has 8 sectors on a sphere (longitudinal cuts), with each sector divided into 4 segments (latitudinal cuts). By building from the source and editing its Imakefile before the ``build'' phase, you may be able to use Motif or LessTif with this port.

Ideal's The Missing Link, a 4x4 puzzle, riding on the wave of Rubik's Cube craze. There are many variations on this theme, including the "6x6" puzzle and Babylon Tower. What makes the Missing Link a harder puzzle to solve is that the 2 center positions rotate together.

"Heroes of Might and Magic III" is a Roleplay Linux game by Loki games commercially available on CD. It seems to run only under x86. You will need the CD, this port only helps you install and deinstall the game and get it to run under FreeBSD.

The original puzzle has 9 triangles per face (size = 3) and has period 4 turning (i.e. the face or points turn with 90 degree intervals). The puzzle was designed by Uwe Meffert and called the Magic Octahedron (or Star Puzzler). The puzzle was not widely distributed but not exactly rare. This puzzle has some analogies to the Rubik's Cube and the solving techniques are the same to that of the Pyraminx. Christoph's Magic Jewel is similar except there are no trivial corners to solve. This has 2^22*12! or 2,009,078,326,886,400 different combinations. Uwe Meffert also noticed that there could be an alternate twisting for the octahedron where it has period 3 turning (i.e. faces turn with 120 degree intervals). One is able to simulate a Trajber's Octahedron (period 3 turning and sticky mode). Also one is able to simulate one with variant turning (period 4 turning and sticky mode).

XorGramana is a maze based logical puzzle game where you must escape each maze by arranging letters to form pre-defined words. XorGramana is based upon the game Xor which appeared in the early 1990's on 8bit home computers. XorGramana implements a version of Xor too.

Xrubik, X-based rubik's cube(tm) Rubik's cube is a puzzle that you put same color pieces to the same faces on a cube. LICENSE: Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute
