gmult
that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no arguments, no drama. she simply is. ๐
๐ DESCRIPTION ๐
so like, this page is here to briefly document the Multiplication Puzzle (gmult) game. and the reason it exists at all is kinda iconic: it was written for the Debian distribution because the original program simply does not have a manual page. so we made one. for the people. ๐ซถ
Multiplication Puzzle is a simple GTK 4 game that emulates the multiplication game found in emacs. basically: a multiplication problem shows up, except every single digit has been replaced by a letter. yes, every one. your job โ your whole entire quest โ is to guess which letter represents which number. no cap. ๐งฎโจ
not me turning into a detective over AB ร C = D bestie. it's giving sudoku but with extra steps and honestly? obsessed. ๐ญ
