- About Enigma
- ============
-
- Enigma is a unique puzzle game, with influences from almost every game
- genre. Your objective is easily explained: you control a small black
- marble with your mouse and have to find and uncover all pairs of
- identical Oxyd stones in each landscape. Simple? Yes. Easy? It would
- be, if it weren't for hidden traps, vast mazes, insurmountable
- obstacles and innumerable puzzles blocking your direct way to the Oxyd
- stones... If you like puzzle games and have a steady hand, Enigma's
- more than 500 levels will probably keep you busy for hours on end.
-
- Enigma is developed by a small group of volunteers, and help is always
- appreciated. If you like Enigma and want to contribute to its future,
- you are welcome to join us on our development mailing list at

- Playing Enigma
- ==============
-
- Please refer to the user manual for instructions on how to play Enigma,
- or simply start with the tutorial levels included with the game.
-
-
- Installation
- ============
-
- Installation on Windows and Mac OS X is straightforward: Simply download
- the appropriate .exe or .dmg file and start it with a double click.
-
- Things get a little more complicated for other operating systems,
- please refer to Enigma's download page
-
- http://www.nongnu.org/enigma/download.html
-
- for up-to-date information. If you are running some kind of Unix system,
- you have always the option of compiling Enigma yourself; this is
- explained in the next section.
-
- There may or may not be binaries for the Linux distribution of your choice,
- and they may or may not work on your computer. This is not our fault:
- packaging a Linux version that works everywhere is almost impossible,
- thanks to countless subtle and not-so-subtle differences between each
- and every Linux distribution. Please complain to your vendor if this
- bugs you.
-
-
- Compiling Enigma
- ================
-
- This section briefly describes how to compile Enigma on a Unix
- machine. If you want to build Enigma on Windows or Mac OS X, please
- see the documentation in `doc/README.mingw32' and `doc/README.macosx',
- respectively.
-
- For a list of libraries and programs that must be installed to compile
- Enigma, please refer to `doc/REQUIREMENTS' for a complete list.
-
- Once you have everything installed, building Enigma is as easy as typing
-
- ./configure && make && make install
-
- in the enigma directory.
