Hello!
I have released a new version of my rewrite of the game Thrust.
As usual it may take a while for the files to move from Incoming
at sunsite, but it is in the correct directory at lysator.
- ----------------
Thrust version 0.59
This is the 4th release of this program. I started to code it for MSDOG
but later I had a revelation so now it is converted to Linux and svgalib.
It would take same work to convert it back and I am not going to do it.
This is the game from the C64 that you cannot live without. Basically
the only thing left is a nicer intro-screen and some other boring stuff.
Sound will be added when/if I get myself a soundcard...
There is a web page that is supposed to be up to date. You can find it at
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~peda/thrust/, and it should contain
information about the latest developement. It also contains information
to help you build your own levels.
- ----------------
Changes 0.53 - 0.59
- - Configurable keys.
- - The guns are silent for a while when the plant has been hit. Thanks go to
Wolfram Kleff since he pointed out this behaviour.
- - Fixed a small bug with the teleport bars.
- - Man page, maintained by Joey Hess (joey@kite.ithaca.ny.us).
- - Changed the internal representation of the definitions of the levels to
make it easier to enter the block codes.
- - A breif description of how to make your own level.
