Free Hero Mesh is a puzzle game engine for grid-based puzzle games with
levels, strictly based on changing game state due to the sequence of
inputs, e.g. Sokoban and Hero Hearts.


It is also designed to be compatible with EKS Hero Mesh puzzle sets, which
must be converted to Free Hero Mesh using the provided "mbtofhm" program.
However, Free Hero Mesh adds a lot of new features and bug fixes compared
with EKS Hero Mesh, many of which have already been implemented, and many
of which have not been implemented yet.

Free Hero Mesh is a puzzle game engine for grid-based puzzle games with
levels, strictly based on changing game state due to the sequence of
inputs, e.g. Sokoban and Hero Hearts. You can define your own classes of
objects using the Free Hero Mesh programming language.

It is also designed to be compatible with EKS Hero Mesh puzzle sets, which
must be converted to Free Hero Mesh using the provided "mbtofhm" program.
However, Free Hero Mesh adds a lot of new features and bug fixes compared
with EKS Hero Mesh, many of which have already been implemented, and many
of which have not been implemented yet.

Currently, there isn't much of this; contributions will be accepted.
There is a shell script for compiling it available, though.

Requirements:

* Linux (it should hopefully work on other POSIX systems, although this is
untested; it might use some Linux-specific functions, and I may be willing
to accept contributions if this can be fixed)

* SQLite version 3 (a recent version)

* SDL1.x (the compatibility layers have not been tested with this
software; if you have tested it please report it, and you may contribute
patches to fix it)

The distributor should edit man6/heromesh.str in order to correctly
specify the directory containing the documentation files.

Before using it, you must create a file called .heromeshrc in your home
directory; you may use default.heromeshrc to start with, and then customize
it as you wish.
