Stax

Stax is an incredibly diverse collection of puzzle games that can be played on Linux, Windows, and DOS operating systems. Built using the powerful Allegro game library, Stax offers a seamless and engaging gaming experience that will leave you wanting more.

One of the biggest advantages of Stax is its seamless installation process. Simply compile the game using the "make" command and choose your platform - either "linux" or "dos". Once the game is compiled, copy the binary (stax or stax.exe) and *.dat files to a convenient location.

To make things even easier, Stax allows you to set the environment variable STAX_DATA, which tells the game where to look for the datafiles. You can either set it to a system-wide directory, such as /usr/local/share/stax, or to a directory in your home directory. This means that you can start playing Stax right away, without having to spend hours configuring the game.

If you're a Linux user, you can install Stax by simply typing "cp stax /usr/local/bin" into your terminal. This will copy the binary to your system's binary directory, allowing you to run the game from anywhere on your machine. You can then create a directory called "/usr/local/share/stax" and copy all *.dat files to that directory.

Finally, you can set the STAX_DATA environment variable by typing "export STAX_DATA="/usr/local/share/stax"" into your terminal. You can also add this line to your system-wide /etc/profile file or to your personal .bash_profile file.

Overall, Stax is a fantastic collection of puzzle games that are sure to provide hours of entertainment. With its easy installation process and engaging gameplay, Stax is a must-have for any puzzle game enthusiast.
