Stax is a collection of puzzle games for Linux, Windows, and DOS. Stax is built with the Allegro game library.

Requirements:
gcc and make
Allegro

To compile:

make < platform >
Where platform is either "linux" or "dos".

To install:

Copy the binary (stax or stax.exe) and *.dat somewhere. If you set the environment variable STAX_DATA, it will look for the datafiles there. Otherwise, it will look in the same directory as the binary itself.

For example, in linux, you could:

cp stax /usr/local/bin
mkdir -p /usr/local/share/stax
cp *.dat /usr/local/share/stax
export STAX_DATA="/usr/local/share/stax"

You could add the last line to /etc/profile to make it system wide or to .bash_profile in your home directory so it's there every time you login.

What's New in This Release:
Some bugs with the input were fixed.
Various graphical improvements were made, the documentation was updated, and various other minor changes were made.
