TAQUIN(6)

💖 TAQUIN — the sliding puzzle bestie 💖

okay so this is the GNOME manual for Taquin, and yes it lives in section 6 of the games manual, and yes it is iconic. Come sit, I'm gonna tell you everything. 🧩✨

✨ NAME ✨

Taquin — a sliding puzzle game for GNOME. That's it, that's the girl. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gnome-taquin [OPTION...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So Taquin is the computer version of the 15-puzzle, plus a whole bunch of other sliding puzzles, because why stop at one. 🦋

The object of the game is literally just: move the tiles around until every single one is in its place. And "its place" is either indicated with numbers or it's a piece of one great big image. Either way you're sliding, you're sweating, you're obsessed. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — prints all the command line options and then dips. 👋 Exit stage left.
• --fifteen, --sixteen — sets which puzzle game gets launched. The --fifteen option is for the classical 15-Puzzle, whereas --sixteen is for a more contemporary puzzle. And bestie, listen: you should only use one of these at the same time. One. Not both. 🙈
• -s, --size=<size> — sets the size of the puzzle's edges. The game is intended to be played in size 3 to 5. It accepts values from 2 to 9 — but 2 is for debug only, and sizes 6 or more are just not verified working. So like, it'll let you, but it's not gonna be pretty. 💀
• --mute, --unmute — turns the sound off / on. And if you give both of them, the game ends up muted. 🍓
• -v, --version — prints the program version and exits. Short, sweet, slays. ⭐

This program also accepts the standard GTK+ options. No cap.
