PyTraffic For Linux

PyTraffic is a computer version of the board puzzle Rush Hour invented by the famous puzzle designer Nob Yoshigahara and commercialized by Binary Arts Corporation.

The goal of PyTraffic project is to remove the red car out of the grid through the slot on the right. To do this you have to slide the other cars out of the way. PyTraffic is written in the scripting language Python.

Playing the game on a real board is much more fun than playing it on the computer (ask my daughter!). So after having used PyTraffic you may consider buying the real thing.

Here are some key features of "PyTraffic":

� PyTraffic comes with about 19.000 puzzles ranging in difficulty from "Intermediate" to "Expert". � In addition it is possible to play "Trivial" and "Easy" levels which are generated on the fly. These are suitable for small children. My six year old daughter Sarah routinely does "Easy" puzzles. � PyTraffic has a help facility which is able to find the best move in every position. It is available through a button on the toolbar. � PyTraffic comes with several "themes". Some of the themes have a 3D-look. Making your own themes is not very hard.

� Python � pygtk � pygame

What's New in This Release:

� The dependency on pygame was removed on GNU/Linux. � The installer was made XDG/LSB compliant. � rpmlint warnings were fixed.
