+KXP = KGoldRunner eXpansion Pack. This consists of games I've made for
+KGoldrunner.
+
+To use them first catch your rabbit: Somehow get KGoldrunner
+installed. Your GNU/Linux distribution has probably already packaged
+it for easy installation.
Then place the .grl files in
~/.kde/share/apps/kgoldrunner/user/levels, creating this if it doesn't
Edit or create ~/.kde/share/apps/kgoldrunner/user/games.dat and add
this line:
-067 T dm KGoldRunner Expansion Pack
+1 T bl Beginner's Luck
-Now run KGoldrunner and when you select New Game from the Game
-menu, you should see the KGoldrunner Expansion Pack listed.
+Now run KGoldrunner and when you select New Game from the Game menu,
+you should see Beginner's Luck listed.
Enjoy!

+SOLUTIONS
+=========
+
+Stuck? Need help? Can't figure out how to pass a level? Normally I'd
+tell you to select Show A Solution from the Move menu but it appears
+that KGoldRunner doesn't allow third party level designers to provide
+their own solutions.
+
+I've come up with a workaround using the fact that KGoldRunner records
+you as you play levels. The file rec_bl.txt contains recordings of my
+playing the levels from Beginner's Luck.
+
+If you'd like to see how I did something, move that file into
+~/.kde/share/apps/kgoldrunner/user. However: Be aware that since
+KGoldRunner has been recording you playing the levels this will
+overwrite your recordings. You may want to back up your recordings
+file if you want to be able to keep it. Also, if you then go play a
+level it will overwrite my recording with yours. As a result, you may
+need to keep a "pristine" copy of my recordings file around so that it
+can be swapped in as needed if you want to see multiple solutions
+while playing levels in between them.
+
+Hopefully these limitations will be addressed in a future version of
+KGoldRunner.
