Intricacy – game of competitive puzzle-design

Intricacy is an addictive, open source, networked, video puzzle game. It is written in Haskell, using the Curses and SDL libraries.

Intricacy runs directly from the command-line, and provides a turn-based, abstract puzzle game where the players need to pick locks, simply by coordinating a couple of tools in order to manipulate the lock’s mechanism. Constructing and solving difficult puzzles within certain strict design constraints is both challenging and good fun.

The catch is that you will be able to pick locks that are designed by other players. It has multi-platform support, with binaries for both Linux and Windows. It also supports OS X.

Features include:

• Mouse control.
• Innovative scoring system.
• Built-in tutorials.
