The GNOME panel fifteen game is an applet letting you play the old game of moving squares around a grid to put them into numerical order. It is part of the gnome-applets package. This section of the guide refers to version 1.1.2, which is distributed in gnome-applets-1.1.2.
To add the game to your panel, you can start it by clicking mouse button 3 on an empty part of the panel and following the sequence Applets->Amusements->Fifteen or you can issue this command at a command prompt: fifteen_applet --activate-goad-server=fifteen_applet &
The fifteen applet was written by Federico Mena Quintero (<federico@nuclecu.unam.mx>) and is based on the game described by one Sam Lloyd in 1878.
Please report bugs in the applet to the GNOME bug tracking system. You can do this by following the guidelines on that site or by using bug-buddy from the command-line. For the package, put gnome-applets.
The applet starts with the pieces in the correct order: this is the order you will need to restore it to. To start it, press mouse button 3 and then select Scramble Pieces. Move the pieces about with mouse button 1 until you have restored them all to their original positions. When you have done this, you will see a "You win!" dialogue box.
Pressing mouse button 1 when it is over a piece that is next to the space will move that piece into the space.
Holding down mouse button 2 allows you to move the applet about in the same way you move anything on the panel.
Pressing mouse button 3 brings up the some of the standard choices available for applets, including an About box and the option to scramble the pieces. There is no preferences box.
