You may need to install one of these to build Motif version:
sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev
sudo apt-get install lesstif2-dev
Then should be a simple
configure; make
Try resizing the puzzle. Notice the puzzle resizes to take advantage of
the "room" available.
Try editing the file Skewb.ad to get a certain feature and then copying
to $(HOME)/Skewb (where Skewb is the file name) and running xskewb
again. There is also a Windows port (wskewb), though not all features
are included.
Also a tesseract (4D cube) would be nice. (Does such an analog exist
for 4d?)
Personally, I have solved this puzzle, but only physically, never in
software. The biggest handicap is that the puzzle is hard to follow
through the diagonals. But the real one is like that too.
Refer to the man page for detailed command line options.
If you want further information on puzzles, I'll be glad :-) to send
it to you.
