I've been working on this for 2 days, but it's finally done. Using a simple script, I can now build a cross-compiled Windows installer, a source distribution, and RPM and Debian package versions of the current source. This will make creating releases (like the first beta...) very simple.

Clearing a Line
Although the new screenshots are at only 640x480, they give a pretty good idea as to how nice the graphics on Falling Block Game are (all the art is designed for 1024x768). As for progress, the game plays fine and actually ends when you can't move your piece any more. The beta version will probably be out in less than 2 weeks
