.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Puzzle
with no arguments plays a 4x4 15-puzzle.  The title bar has two boxes in
it.  Clicking in the left box scrambles the puzzle.  Clicking in the right
box solves the puzzle.  Clicking anywhere else in the title bar causes
puzzle to exit. Clicking in the tiled region moves the empty spot to that
location if the region you click in is in the same row or column as the
empty slot.

.B \-s<move-steps>
Set the number of block moves used to move the empty slot from place
to place. By adjusting the value of move-steps, you can control the 
speed of the empty slot as it careens around the puzzle.
-s3 seems to give reasonable animation with no hardware bit mover
support; you may need a much larger value (like 40-50) if you have
a hardware bit mover.
.TP
.B \-p<picture-file>
Create a pixmap from picture-file and use it as the puzzle.
