Summary
Puzzle
Some puzzle-type games, from the more arcade-like and frozen-bubble to xjig (a
jigsaw puzzle program), to lmemory (based on the classic "memory" card game).
This sampling of packages was done in the hope that it will appeal to child
and adult alike.
The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Junior Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Junior which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.
For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:
If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Junior
to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to
send a description of that project to the Debian Junior mailing list

Frozen-Bubble is a clone of the popular "Puzzle Bobble" game, in which
you attempt to shoot bubbles into groups of the same color to cause them
to pop. It features 100 single-player levels, a two-player mode, music
and striking graphics.
This game is widely rumored to be responsible for delaying the Woody
release.

Hex-a-hop is a great puzzle game in which a girl has to break all the green
tiles in an hexagonal map without getting trapped. There is no time limit and
no real-time element.
The objective is simply to destroy all the green hexagonal tiles on each of
the 100 levels. As you progress through the game, more types of tiles are
introduced which make things more difficult and interesting.

xjig is a puzzle that tries to replicate a jigsaw puzzle on the screen
as closely as possible. Any GIF, JPEG or PPM image may be loaded and cut
into pieces. The goal (as with any jigsaw puzzle) is to reassemble the
original picture.
Tiles may be freely rotated by use of the mouse, flipped (for
double-sided puzzles) and even shown as shaped windows on the desktop
(fast machine/video card recommended for the latter!). An example image
is provided in /usr/lib/games/xjig .
