54321

The 54321 project offers an enticing collection of five games in varying dimensions, intended for single-player enjoyment. These games are classic two-dimensional puzzles, which have been elevated to new heights with the incorporation of three and four-dimensional elements. The project was initially developed for the 1mb SDL Game Programming Contest hosted by Linux Journal, Loki Software, and No Starch Press.

Users will require a few tools to run 54321, including gmake, a C++ compiler, the SDL library, SDL_image, SDLmain, libpng, and zlib. While these are mandatory for Linux, Solaris, and MacOS, Windows users may opt to use the self-extracting zip file instead. Optional tools include pdflatex, noweave, and notangle.

For Windows users, the self-extracting zip file should contain the same items as the binary package. However, the binary package is the more versatile option, as it contains executables for Linux (x86), Solaris (sparc), BeOS (x86), MacOS X, and Win32. It is important to note that users must have installed the required packages to be able to use the binary package effectively.

If you are interested in testing your puzzle-solving skills across multiple dimensions, 54321 is an excellent software choice.
