# Make .desktop files for the puzzles.
#
# At present, this script is intended for developer usage: if you're
# working on the puzzles and want to play your bleeding-edge locally
# modified and compiled versions, run this script and it will create a
# collection of desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications where
# XFCE can pick them up and add them to its main menu. (Be sure to run
# 'xfdesktop --reload' after running this.)
#
# (If you don't use XFCE, patches to support other desktop
# environments are welcome :-)
