Polyominoes v2.0, distributed as poly2.sit in the funet ftp.funet.fi /pub/mac games archive, is a classic Mac puzzle game built around pentominoes - the twelve distinct shapes formed by joining five equal squares edge to edge. The funet index lists it simply as "Polyominoes v2.0, the game of pentomino."
About pentominoes
Pentominoes are the order-5 polyominoes: twelve flat shapes, conventionally labelled F, I, L, N, P, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z, that tile rectangles and other regions in mathematically rich ways.
Gameplay
Polyominoes 2.0 challenges the player to fit the pentomino set into target boards, a recreational-mathematics puzzle popularised by Solomon W. Golomb and a staple of puzzle software for early personal computers.
Series context
