Themed around telling the story of the Nagasaki and Hiroshima incidents, sorry if you find this a tad controversial or lacking tact I am literally autistic and did not know better at the time of making this game in the years of 2007-2008. So with the "Language Independent Story Telling Puzzle Game" I was trying to create a game genre where no country specific language was used just globally recognised symbols, just to be ultra-inclusive, and that's what I tried to achieve here by explaining an entire sequence of events such as these tragic events using no words of language. Honestly, I haven't played and completed Trax in so long that I don't know if I can say I achieved that with much success but I'd like to think I had.

"Trax is a Language Independent Story Telling Puzzle Game (LIST-PG). Trax combines Pipe Tiles with Slide-Puzzle manipulation to guide power balls to their respective goals. Trax is a game that will improve your cognitive and problem solving skills."

The easiest way to play is to click and drag with the mouse, but there are also some keyboard bindings:

* Up: Moves selector up
* Down: Moves selector down
* Left: Moves selector left
* Right: Moves selector right
* E: (Hold) to Shift tiles + Release Ball
* R: Switch between selector control of: Bonus Menu, Tile Grid, Release System
* Q: Add a ball to random release on demand.
* Enter: Release Ball / Use
* Escape: Right Click - Menu
* F1: Use Bonus in Slot 1
* F2: Use Bonus in Slot 2
* F3: Use Bonus in Slot 3
* F4: Use Bonus in Slot 4
* F5: Use Bonus in Slot 5
* F6: Use Bonus in Slot 6

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Trax Puzzle

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
