|
|
|
|
The games that begin with the ``sgt-'' prefix are ports of certain
|
|
puzzles from Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection, an open source
|
|
collection of single-player puzzle games.
|
|
|
|
\note{Certain puzzles may crash when run with demanding
|
|
configurations. To prevent this, avoid setting extreme configuration
|
|
values.}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Puzzle Documentation}
|
|
For documentation on the games included, please see the ``Extensive
|
|
Help'' menu option from inside the plugin to read puzzle-specific
|
|
instructions or visit their official website at
|
|
\url{https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/}.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Dynamic Font Sizing}
|
|
By default, each game will only use one of two fonts in drawing: the
|
|
hard-coded system font for fixed-width text, and the theme's UI font
|
|
for variable-width text. For improved puzzle rendering, each puzzle is
|
|
capable of using a special font pack when it is installed. This font
|
|
pack is available from
|
|
\url{https://download.rockbox.org/useful/sgt-fonts.zip}. To install,
|
|
simply extract the contents of this file to the
|
|
\fname{/.rockbox/fonts/} directory on your device. Once this has been
|
|
done, each game will dynamically load and use properly-sized fonts
|
|
whenever needed.
|
|
|
|
\note{On hard disk-based devices, this may cause a slight delay as the
|
|
disk spins up to load the fonts when a puzzle is first started, and
|
|
after using the ``Extensive Help'' feature.}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{``Zoom In'' Feature}
|
|
The ``Zoom In'' feature is available as an option from the pause
|
|
menu. It has two modes: viewing mode, and interaction mode. The
|
|
current mode is indicated in the title bar at the bottom of the
|
|
screen. This feature is most useful with low-resolution devices and
|
|
large puzzles.
|
|
|
|
Viewing mode is entered when the ``Zoom In'' option is selected, or
|
|
when {\PluginCancel} is pressed in interaction mode. It allows you to
|
|
pan around an enlarged version of the game. The directional keys pan
|
|
the image by a small amount in their respective directions, and
|
|
{\PluginSelect} should toggle interaction mode. To return to the pause
|
|
menu from viewing mode, press {\PluginCancel}.
|
|
|
|
In interaction mode, activated from viewer mode by pressing
|
|
{\PluginSelect}, your device's buttons all function as they do in the
|
|
normal gameplay mode, with the exception of {\PluginCancel}, which
|
|
returns the game to viewing mode, whereas in the normal gameplay mode
|
|
it would return directly to the pause menu. To return to the pause
|
|
menu from interaction mode, press {\PluginCancel} twice.
|
|
|
|
\note{Using certain features such as the ``Zoom In'' option may stop
|
|
audio playback. This is normal, as the game requires additional
|
|
memory from the system, which will automatically stop playback. The
|
|
``Playback Control'' menu will be hidden whenever this
|
|
happens. Exiting the game will allow the resumption of audio
|
|
playback.}
