About Enigma
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Enigma is a unique puzzle game, with influences from almost every game
|
|
genre. Your objective is easily explained: you control a small black
|
|
marble with your mouse and have to find and uncover all pairs of
|
|
identical Oxyd stones in each landscape. Simple? Yes. Easy? It would
|
|
be, if it weren't for hidden traps, vast mazes, insurmountable
|
|
obstacles and innumerable puzzles blocking your direct way to the Oxyd
|
|
stones... If you like puzzle games and have a steady hand, Enigma's
|
|
more than 500 levels will probably keep you busy for hours on end.
|
|
|
|
Enigma is developed by a small group of volunteers, and help is always
|
|
appreciated. If you like Enigma and want to contribute to its future,
|
|
you are welcome to join us on our development mailing list at

Playing Enigma
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the user manual for instructions on how to play Enigma,
|
|
or simply start with the tutorial levels included with the game.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Installation on Windows and Mac OS X is straightforward: Simply download
|
|
the appropriate .exe or .dmg file and start it with a double click.
|
|
|
|
Things get a little more complicated for other operating systems,
|
|
please refer to Enigma's download page
|
|
|
|
http://www.nongnu.org/enigma/download.html
|
|
|
|
for up-to-date information. If you are running some kind of Unix system,
|
|
you have always the option of compiling Enigma yourself; this is
|
|
explained in the next section.
|
|
|
|
There may or may not be binaries for the Linux distribution of your choice,
|
|
and they may or may not work on your computer. This is not our fault:
|
|
packaging a Linux version that works everywhere is almost impossible,
|
|
thanks to countless subtle and not-so-subtle differences between each
|
|
and every Linux distribution. Please complain to your vendor if this
|
|
bugs you.
|
|

|
Compiling Enigma
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
This section briefly describes how to compile Enigma on a Unix
|
|
machine. If you want to build Enigma on Windows or Mac OS X, please
|
|
see the documentation in `doc/README.mingw32' and `doc/README.macosx',
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
For a list of libraries and programs that must be installed to compile
|
|
Enigma, please refer to `doc/REQUIREMENTS' for a complete list.
|
|
|
|
Once you have everything installed, building Enigma is as easy as typing
|
|
|
|
./configure && make && make install
|
|
|
|
in the enigma directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
