Puzzles and Mazes

#1 Post by juverax »

There are several threads here at TPFC that link to Puzzles and Mazes.

Here are two more pages, with collections of free portable puzzles and maze games.
They are portable because they use JavaScript and/or Java:

Simon Tatham's Puzzles: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ standalone programs

http://www.logicmazes.com/ Run in the bowser. I assume ( :?: ) they work, but since Java is not cooperating well with my browser ... I don't know!

I realize that this may sound like a really specialized tool for a very tiny audience, but I can't even begin to count the amount of discussions I've had with light font on light backgrounds and vice versa. It has nothing to do with accessibility issues or impaired eyesight. It's very important to have something that can say, "This is the wrong color combination," and provide a list of standards.

On a related note, and as a fan of Simon Tatham's Puzzle pack, I put together a package of them all with a simple open source launcher with screenshots of each puzzle for easy navigation. It also includes the legacy 32-bit ones for folks who need them and it'll use those automatically on machines that require them: https://portableapps.com/apps/games/puz ... n_portable
