# Tesserae for the Palm
Tesserae is a single-player video game developed by Nicholas Schlott based on
[Kent Brewster's DOS game Stained Glass](https://web.archive.org/web/20121221084920/http://www.sff.net/people/k.brewster/).
and was first published in 1990. It commercially successful releases for
Macintosh, Windows 3.x, DOS, Nintendo Game Boy and Sega Game Gear.
And now PalmOS!
# History
I wrote this during Summer 2002 to learn the PalmOS SDK, C and Emacs.
I never completed the project and despite multiple attempts to get it
to a releasable state, I gave up Jan 2004 and dumped everything online
with a public domain license at [duckies.org/palm/tess](https://web.archive.org/web/20050108233132/http://duckies.org:80/palm/tess/).
Fast forward to 2024, I wrote a small
[tess_import](https://gist.github.com/notpeter/71e35a74a008d268057f564b76ff4f75)
to retroactively create a git history from my backup zips.
# Requirements
This targets PalmOS >= 3.0 in either monochrome or color with 160x160 pixel
displays. Various physical devices (Palm III, Palm IIIXE, Palm m500/m505/m515,
Zire, Tungsten T and multiple Sony Clies) were tested along with various ROMs
for the PalmOS Emulator (POSE).
Use on high-resolution devices (320x320) is untested.
# Issues
> The current version (2004-Jan-07) has a bug dealing with the detection of
> valid moves from the currently selected location. It happens if you click
> on a tile in the bottom two rows (broken pointers).
> Older versions (go back a few versions...like maybe till 2002 even) don't have that.
# Development Environment setup
TBD
Originally I used prc-tools under windows with cygwin.
