I'm afraid I don't understand quite what you're asking for. Do you
want:
1. The option of a fixed "server" that does not need to be rotated.
2. The possibility of blocks with no wire or component. (I seem to
remember that Simon Tatham's Net does rarely generate these,
though this may no longer happen.)
3. Something else?
Just going to clarify my naming here (based on the naming from a Palm
Pilot version of this I played long ago):
Server: square in the center
Client: the non-central squares.
Links: all others (straight and bent lines).
In the version I remember, all of the Clients had to be connected to the
Server, but it was allowed for some of the Links to be unconnected. In
the sgt-puzzles version, *all* squares (Clients and Links) need to be
connected. I've come across a couple of cases with the sgt-puzzles
version where I've connected all the Clients, but it doesn't say that
I've finished because some of the Links are disconnected. This is
probably because I'm doing a puzzle that has a non-unique solution, and
one of the other solutions would have all the Links connected, but I'd
like to be able to just have to connect all the Clients without having
to switch on the "puzzles with unique solutions only" option.
Thanks,
