A modern GUI implementation of the word game boggle

From the website of the software:

Tanglet is a word finding game where you try to list as many words as you can before the time runs out. There are several timer modes that determine how much time you start with, and if you get extra time when you find a word.

You can join letters horizontally, vertically, or diagonally in any direction to make a word, so as long as the letters are next to each other on the board. However, you cannot reuse the same letter cells in a single word. Also, each word must be at least three letters on a normal board, and four letters on a large board.

I only recently started using nixos and am not familiar with how to package anything (except maybe for the hello world program from the first few nix pills). The nixos repository is generally excellent but I found this nice game (that I do use on ubuntu quite a bit) to be missing from the nix repository and would be very grateful if somebody could package it for nix.

I have no connection whatsoever with the author or other members of the project and am only approaching this as a user of the software.

Thanks for the fast response and work to package the game!

You are welcome! And thank you for requesting the package! I've been looking for an app to make my first contribution for some time now.
