Within the single *.7z archive you will find the application's main directory [./agate/] containing files for deployment on 3 platforms: 1)windows, 2)OS-X, 3)linux, in addition to source code.
Windows users see also: "windows-setup.txt" Mac users should read "osx-setup.txt", especially if you want to turn off HighDpi mode.
Unzip the archive. On Windows, 7z [www.7-zip.org] works well for this.
Open a commandline terminal, and cd to the install directory. If your platform is High-Dpi-capable, type the executable-name followed by a "1", before hittting the (enter-key). But if the game does not play smoothly, you should run in Low-Dpi mode.
Linux users should type "adagate_gnu" to start the game. You may also double click its icon in file manager.
This linux executable was built on Linux Mint, and tested on RedHat (Scientific-Linux) to not only run well, but to rebuild easily. I believe this single linux executable will run on most distributions of linux.
Similarly, Mac users may initiate the game by navigating to the installation directory in Finder and clicking the "adagate.app" icon named "AdaGate".
Windows users type either a) "binw32\adagate32.exe" or b) "binw64\adagate64.exe" from the install directory.
The install directory should contain a subdirectory named "data". It contains shaders, skyboxes, sound and texture data, as well as the puzzle definitions.
An optional command line parameter of 1..5 will choose the Degree-of-Difficulty [DOD], but it is normally unnecessary since the DoD increments itself after each game. If you succeed at DoD= 3 or 4 then you are ready to try WorldCupSokerban or RufasSok!
Tips: 0) type "h" for the help screen. 1) the ZPM is heavy! If you kick it out of reach under water then you will be stranded on the island. 2) when in trouble in a dungeon, jumping may help.
By the way, you are ideally supposed to solve the sokoban puzzles without jumping up onto the walls. On the other hand, if you jump into the puzzle at the wrong place, it might be impossible to solve.
