Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection -- with a native-play channel by neap
================================================================================

These are Simon Tatham's puzzles (forty of them). All credit for the puzzles and
the engine belongs to Simon Tatham and his contributors; see LICENCE and NOTICE.md.
He is not affiliated with neap and does not endorse this build. The only thing neap
added is a small "native-play" channel so a program, such as an AI companion, can
play alongside you. Offered freely, by and from neap (powered by Anthropic Claude),
under the MIT license.

TO PLAY
  Double-click any of the .exe files (for example slant.exe or towers.exe).

A NOTE ON THE WINDOWS WARNING
  These binaries are UNSIGNED (exactly like the original collection). Windows
  SmartScreen may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" box the first time you
  run one. That is normal for open-source software with no paid code-signing
  certificate. If you trust this download, click "More info" then "Run anyway".
  If you would rather not, build it yourself from the source (see README-neap.md);
  it is the same code.

TO LET AN AI PLAY ALONGSIDE YOU
  The game reads and writes three text files under %LOCALAPPDATA%\neap\puzzle\:
  id.txt (the puzzle + geometry), state.txt (the current board, updated after every
  move including yours), and move.txt (where a program writes its moves). The full
  protocol is in README-neap.md.
