This is a collection of games, and some useful widgets which have been used in their construction.

I've tested everything here with the original R6 release, but only on a Sparc-10 running SunOS 4.

The Widgets (Xkw/):

Layout      a constraint based geometry widget.  Included in
        this release is some code purported to make it work
        with Motif; I cannot test that as I do not have access
        to Motif.

Hand, Cards Playing card management widget; does all of the
        nasty redisplay and layout of stacks of overlapping
        cards.  Cards is a subclass and deals with regular
        playing cards.

Message     Utilities which allow a printf-style interface
        to the Athena Label widget.

Pad     A text display widget; handles scrolling and
        simple repaint.  More powerful than Label as
        it optimizes repaint, but it only handles
        char cell fonts.

Thermo      Displays a "thermometer" for indicating a
        bounded-range value.  Draws tick-marks and
        numbers.  Handles both vertical and horizontal
        orientation.

The Games (everything else). For rules on how to play them, consult Hoyle or just play around and see what they'll let you do.

dominos     Double 9 dominos against the computer.

kcanfield   Standard Canfield solitare.

kcribbage   Cribbage against the computer.  The 
        score keeping widget is not very pretty.

kklondike   "Regular" solitaire.

kmontana    An interesting single-deck solitaire.  Stolen
        from the Macintosh game of the same name.

kspider     The classic double-deck solitaire.  Probably
        the most interesting game here.

kthieves    40-thieves.  I've only seen this won a few times.

ktowers     A perfect-knowledge single deck game.  Nearly every
        configuration can be eventually solved.

mcarlo      Monte-carlo.  A very simple matching solitaire.

reversi     Or "Othello", except that that name is copywritten.

slyfox      Any easier double-deck solitaire.  This one includes
        instructions; see slyfox-rules.

xmille      My first X program.  Doesn't look much like the 
        original anymore, except for the gory pictures.
