To build you need at minimum both of these, X11 and Xt (unless you are
looking to build win32).
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
sudo apt-get install libxt-dev
You may need to install one of these to build Motif version:
sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev (strongly recommended)
sudo apt-get install lesstif2-dev (defunct)
As an alternative to Motif you can use Athena (and its variants):
sudo apt-get install xaw7-dev
(Also could use XAW3D xaw3d-1.6.3-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst)
You need to install XPM if you want color icons:
sudo apt-get install libxpm-dev (strongly recommended)
To install XMU if you want editres:
sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev (probably not useful)
To install sound libraries (all defunct):
sudo apt-get install librplay3-dev
sudo apt-get install libesd0-dev
sudo apt-get install libaudiofile-dev
sudo apt-get install nas-dev
sudo apt-get install pulse-dev
In place of these it is just configured by default with
--enable-def-play=play.sh
Then should be a simple
configure; make
Try resizing the puzzle. Notice the puzzle resizes to take advantage of
the "room" available.
Note: if using Athena and want the popups to be able to be closed when
using a close window button in top bar, uncomment translations stuff
in app-defaults file (.ad file) prior to "make install". This may
lead to warnings if for example the Motif version also exists.
Try editing the file XCubes.ad to get a certain feature and then
copying to $(HOME)/XCubes (where XCubes is the file name) and
running xcubes again. There is also a Windows port (wcubes).
I stole many good things from the X11 "puzzle" by Don Bennett. This
program completes a theme with xtriangles and xhexagons. This program
could be further generalized to do a tesseract the puzzle but in fact,
it gets no harder than the 2-D puzzle except that its more tedious.
Refer to the man page for detailed command line options and instructions
on how to operate.
MATHEMATICAL STUFF USED IN CONSTRUCTION
Assuming it is a box of i columns, j rows, and k stacks and the
numbering starts from 1.
Corner 1-> 1
2-> i
3-> i*j-i+1
4-> i*j
5-> i*j*k-i*j+1
6-> i*j*k-i*j+i
7-> i*j*k-i+1
8-> i*j*k
Center -> i%2 =>
0: None
1: ((i+1)/2)^3
Max_Width -> i units
Max_Height -> j units
Max_Depth -> k units
Start -> x=y=z=0
Next -> n%i =>
0: x= 0 units; y+= 1 unit
if (y == j)
{y = 0 units; z+= 1 unit;}
default: x+= 1 unit
Same row? -> (m-1) / i == (n-1) / i
Same column? -> ((m-1) % i == (n-1) % i) &&
((m-1) / (i*j) == (n-1) / (i*j))
Same stack? -> (m-1) % (i*j) == (n-1) % (i*j)
FOUND A BUG?
Send bugs reports and fixes to the author. For bugs, please include
as much information as to their location as possible, since I may not
be able to duplicate them.
