Installation

Linux (and other Unix ?)

Installation from sources :

./configure
make

and as root :

make install

You can specify parameters with configuration. To know all available parameters :

./configure --help

Windows

The sources can be compiled under Windows. But it's not easy with this plateform, so there are binary packages.

Download the last BRIQUOLO version for windows (Briquolo-xxx.zip), and the dll (dll.zip (250 KB)) which could be missing on your computer. Uncompress the .zip file, et put the dll in the same directory as Briquolo.exe.

While level edition

An edition panel allow to define:

• x and y variation of the cursor. Two predefined variations are proposed and a third kind allow to choose a personalized one.

K -> Move cursor down
J -> Move cursor left
L -> Move cursor right
SPACE -> Add / Delete an element

Levels can be loaded and saved in the menu accessible with ESC. Levels are saved in the directory $HOME/.briquolo/tableau (or in the directory $HOMEPREOFILE\Briquolo\tableau under Windows). Furthermore levels are loaded by priority (in the game and with the editor) in this directory, so a level can be replaced without being lost.
Levels are orginised by groups. A group is a directory in which there are the associated levels. A description can be associated to the group in the file 'description' placed in the directory of the group.
