# Puzzle table display



## Purpose



Display a table of puzzles made by Palapeli, a linux puzzle game.



The Palapeli puzzle program is a great program to play with. However, the display of the puzzles I would like to change it a bit. There are issues posted at the repository but the developer has many other things to do and therefore there is slow progress in the development of Palapeli.



I am also working on a language binding between Raku and the Gnome libraries to create all sorts of graphical interfaces. To test the modules out I thought that this project would be a nice start to see if the Raku modules work properly.



### What to implement



Nothing which works fine with Palapeli;



* Create new puzzles and export them.

* Playing a puzzle.

* Starting a puzzle from commandline.



And a small list of things to change in the puzzle table program;



* The puzzle table of Palapeli has a large field of all puzzles in it. You can order it by name or by the number of pieces.

* The picture of the puzzle is small.

* There is no information about the progress of a puzzle. The only way to get this info is by starting the puzzle.



What the new program should do. See also the TODO list in the `CHANGES.md` document.



* [x] Gather the previously created puzzles from the several Palapeli collection directories and copy them elsewhere.

* [x] Use the Palapeli program of different install types; os standard, Snap or Flatpak.

* [x] Be able to make categories. Selecting a category shows the puzzles in that category thus displaying a smaller table.

* [x] Be able to rename categories.

* [ ] Show a larger picture of the puzzle. Also make a more puzzle like display e.g. ![](doc/puzzle-example.jpg) At the moment its just a larger image.

* [x] Show on the same picture how much is finished.

* [x] Add newly created and exported puzzles.

* [x] Remove a puzzle and store it in an archive.

* [x] Restore a puzzle from the archive.

* [x] Move puzzles to other categories.

* [x] Categories are shown in a sidebar

* [x] Grouping categories in an expandable widget to narrow a long list.



## Description
