Falling Block Game
Development: FBG v0.8
2002-10-27T07:00Z
Version 0.8 of Falling Block Game is here and ready to be downloaded! This release adds a new cross-platform GUI launcher that uses wxWindows (you only need wxWindows for the source distribution, however). There is also a new style of gameplay that you can access known as B-Type. It is basically a 25 line-countdown with optional starting garbage (the idea for this came from Gameboy Tetris). Also, if you were having trouble with blocks appearing inside-out/incorrectly drawn, v0.8 fixes these problems.
As far as I can tell, Falling Block Game is now fairly stable and usable. Hopefully I can now concentrate on adding nifty features (like themes and music) instead of focusing on cross-platform support and the GUI launcher and whatnot. Progress will be slowing down a bit, but it certainly won't stop =)
UPDATE: Submail.net is having a ton of annoying problems and it seems to be deleting my messages at random. Several people have sent me messages about Falling Block Game (one about Mac OS X, I think) but I am unable to read them or reply to them. I have changed my email address as listed on this site (see "Contact" on the left). Please send any messages you have sent to my old Submail account to the new account.
