"Das mit dem Affen"
-------------------
This is a one-night hack. It's a puzzle type game for X11.
I played it on another hardware platform (it was made of several
pieces of wood) and ported it to Unix/X11.

How to play it
--------------
After you have started the game (by simply typing "./affenspiel",
no need to install anything), you will immediately see what to do:
Shift the puzzle pieces around so that the monkey becomes complete,
that means, move the big piece through the other pieces to the
bottom of the playfield, so that the monkey picture gets complete.

To move one piece, just click with the mouse on it. If there is only
one direction in which the piece can be moved, it will do so. If there
are several possible directions, click near the border of the desired
direction. Just try it out!

I think it is not *that* easy, but it is definitely solvable.

There are a few functions mapped on several keys. They are not needed
to play this little game, but maybe you find them useful:

	n,N	:	Restart the game. This arranges the pieces
			to the starting position.

	s,S	:	Save the actual state of the game. It will
			be saved to a default file under "/tmp" or
			to the default file that you can specify in
			the Makefile or to a file that you have
			given as a command line argument, e.g. when
			started as "./affenspiel monkey3".

	l,L	:	Restore a previously saved game. This will
			try to load an old game state from the same
			file as described under "s,S". (That means,
			that you can only save *one* game state while
			playing a game. Use the "mv" or "cp" to go
			around this! =;-)

	q,Q	:	Quit the game.


The game should run as fine under a color X11 server as under Black&White.

If there are any problems, just take the source file and hack it! ;-)

To build your own version (probably under other UNIX-like operation
systems than Linux, for example SUN or HP-UX), just type "make" and
it should be recompiled.
