TkGames is a games pack that includes Yahtzee, Hearts, Hangman, Polygon puzzle, Solitaire, written in Tcl/Tk.

Games:

PolyPuzzle:

Based on a tesselation puzzle named Beat the Computer, this is my first "original" tk program. Over the last couple of years, I've implemented most of the different puzzles.

Tksol:

Thanks to Bao Trinh for letting me adopt his program. Over several point releases I've fixed quite a few bugs, added some features and really got my hands dirty learning Tcl.

TkHangman:

My first Tcl/Tk program - A half-working and abandoned hangman program I adopted from Ibiblio.org, and eventually rewrote.

TkHearts:

Thanks to Mike Griffiths for coding this great Hearts clone. It's a mostly complete game, but the AI could be refined. Steven A has hacked this game and made a few small changes with reguards to window handling and look and feel.

TkYahtzee:

This is another program I found at tcl.tk which is mostly complete but had small playability issues. I've moved the dice close to the buttons and toned down the abrasive colouring. It's still needs a proper highscore widget. Thanks to the (uncredited) author.

Requirements:
Tcl/Tk

What's New in This Release:
TkHearts has had some proper AI written.
Spider and Yahtzee have had incremental changes.
Spider now is fairly polished, and has a redo feature.
