Pencil & paper Sudoku fans that need help will find that this [free & offline] app can help them to identify & eliminate candidate digits, using Windows or Linux. ASUD is a sudoku assistant tool designed to help with manually solving Sudoku puzzles. It handles routine tasks so you can focus on more advanced puzzle solving strategies. Algorithms have been added to detect and display (hidden or naked) pairs, triples, & quads, whose display can be toggled. Executables that run [offline] on Windows, and GNU/Linux are delivered. All source code, build scripts & resources are included.

This is NOT another Rubic's Cube. It's a much simpler slider puzzle that is incrementally solvable. A 3x3x3 arrangement of cubelets with the center one missing allows sliding permutations. After a randomization, the goal is to restore the cube to its original configuration based on color and alphabetic hints. Written in Ada and compiles on Windows, OS-X or GNU/Linux. Nice laptop controls and support for Mac Retina displays. Requires OpenGL v3.3, and on Macs a recent version of OS-X. Now with mouse wheel zoom (2-finger swipe on MacBooks). Includes a smaller 2x2x2 version called SevenSlider. Works on Windows, Macs running OS-X and PCs running GNU/Linux. The proper command to extract the archive and maintain the directory structure is "7z x filename".

AdaGate is a 3D OpenGL strategy game with escape rooms in a Stargate fantasy setting. It is an elaborate example of modern OpenGL programming using the Ada language; and a tribute to Narbacular Drop, and Amelia Earhart. Each room has a barrier that must be circumvented using portals. The barriers include water with piranha, molten magma, and walls. Runs on Windows, OSX, and GNU/Linux. The linux binary now runs on many linux distros! Includes all source code, build scripts & resources.

LinXtris is a multi-platform Tetris clone written in Ada 95 and GtkAda.

RufaSlider is a collection of 16 different block slider puzzles for kids and casual puzzlers that works on laptops and PCs running Windows, OSX or GNU/Linux. It includes a Klotski-style family, a DirtyDozen family, and a Traffic-Rush family. And now these puzzle families come with AutoSolvers to help you. The Klotski family uses rectangles of 4 sizes: 1x1, 2x2, 1x2, 2x1. The objective in each game is stated near the window top, but usually involves moving a large block to a specified location within the window. The DirtyDozen family is similar except there are L-shaped puzzle pieces. The Traffic-Rush family uses data, with 2x1, 1x2, 3x1, 1x3 rectangles. Here, the long rectangles represent cars or trucks that can only move [roll] lengthwise...the goal being to move the red car toward the shaded "exit door". The proper command to extract the archive and maintain the directory structure is "7z x filename".

This is a soccer-themed, 3rd-person 3D sokoban puzzle game. It uses data in a format that is commonly found on the internet. It has undo <u> and restart <r> functions. Comes with many puzzle files, each typically having dozens of "levels". The next <n> and previous <p> keys move between levels. The <Lshft> and <Rshft> keys move between the different puzzle files. The <z> key creates a setpoint (reZero) so that subsequent restarts restore that setpoint. To move the "kicker" use the arrow keys. The objective is to kick all the red and blue balls into the goal nets. Notice that these strange soccer balls roll in two perpendicular directions only! Now with a user adjustable viewpoint! The mouse wheel can let you zoom in on the action! Works on Macs running OS-X and PCs running Windows or GNU/Linux. The proper command to extract the archive and maintain the directory structure is "7z x filename".
