My oldest son LOVES (can't stress that enough) Pentominoes and asked if there was a version for his computer, DS, or whatever. Looking around, I couldn't find something I was willing to buy (they all had hard coded puzzles) and there really wasn't a freeware version available with the features that he and we wanted.

Below is a VERY early release of what I've been putting together for him. This version is playable, has the starts of an editor, and in general not even close to done. There is a readme file that explains the controls and where the settings file is stored included in the zip file.

Placing up here for public brow bashing, and look for more updates as I have time to complete them.

PS: If anyone has a good (as in well written, fast executing, and easy to understand) implementation of Knuth's "Exact Cover" that they wouldn't mind sharing, I'm looking for some reference material.
