# Animated Towers of Hanoi using Tk with optional bitmap file in # background. # # Usage: tkhanoi [n [bitmapfile]] # # n is the number of pieces to animate; default is 4, maximum 15. # # The bitmap file can be any X11 bitmap file (look in # /usr/include/X11/bitmaps for samples); it is displayed as the # background of the animation.
