# bloksi(6)

Sliding block puzzle.

## NAME

bloksi - Sliding block puzzle.

## SYNOPSIS

bloksi \[puzzle file\]

## DESCRIPTION

bloksi is a sliding block puzzle : push the blocks around, using the mouse. The goal is to put some of the blocks in a certain position. The goal position is shown by pressing the 'goal' button on the menubar.

Puzzles can be loaded  using the 'file' menu.

Puzzles can be saved in their current state with the history of moves, using the 'file-\>save' and 'file-\>save\_as' menus. The default place for saving puzzles is in a `"$HOME/.bloksi"` directory that is created the first time bloksi is run.

## Bloksi ressembles Glotski?

Right! bloksi is almost a clone of the game 'glotski' by Martin Hock (http://gfpoken.bigw.org/glotski/). As far as I know, the glotski puzzles can be loaded by bloksi. glotski loads puzzles saved by bloksi, but without the history of moves.

## CREATING PUZZLE

Puzzle creation is documented in the the bloksi\_format manpage man page.
