welcome and keep on playing! there are lots of players to beat ;-) place 90 is not bad for the beginning, but you can do much better!! if you like tetris, you can also try http://www.gravytris.de if you want to go hardcore, check by at http://www.tetrisconcept.com and search for \"Tetris the Gr...

do you have the opengl packet installed ? i dont know linux very well, but i remember i had to manually install opengl sdk or development package using yast..

more i cannot say, you must wait till jean luc returns.

or any other linux pro here in the forums?

it looks like imagelib uses some assembler code to accelerate image loading. try to turn assembler optimization off (must be some #ifdef).

if that does not help, please wait till jeanluc is back from holidays in a few days.

greetings, website admin

yeah. maybe double bag size, or the randomizer that is used in the professional \"tetris the grandmaster\" tgm series from arika: 1. keep a history of the last 4 pieces. 2. choose a new piece randomly 3. if new piece equals one of the pieces in the history, goto 2; repeat this goto max 6 t...

i just noticed the 1000ths download of blockout II for windows from sourceforge.net

\" BlockOut23_setup.exe Mirror 4991075 1000 i386 .exe (32-bit Windows)\"


congratulations, jean luc!

hy fans, blockout II got a softpedia award!

go on to softpedia.com and vote/rate for blockout II:

http://games.softpedia.com/get/Freeware ... t-II.shtml

-- mabye a high rating will give it a higher listing somewhere and thus more players!

sounds as if you have downloaded the lib as an ascii file, and not in binary format? what tool did you use for accessing cvs /svn ?

well, jean luc, you always go for perfection ;-) i agree, a really good (and original blockout seems to have a quite good computer ai) ai would need path sarching and a complex evaluation function. but to get started, i would suggest to simply test all possible block rotations and positions and choo...

i have submitted to http://happypenguin.org. i hope it will be accepted. see you all next week on tuesday! i am on a short trip into the mointains (alps).

i found two worthy places where to submit blockoutII:

http://www.libsdl.org/news.php and http://happypenguin.org/. jeanluc, would you like to submit to there?

i already submitted news to http://www.linuxgames.com/, it will hopefully be reviewed and put on startpage soon.

thats cool! i found your submission in the database, but strangely it does not show up on the frontpage... i thought every new project becomes listed on the frontpage. but anyway, lets hope that this adds some linux fans to the gamers of blockout II. or - does someone know any other big linux websit...

thanks for the image, i have made a small frontpage news flash. by the way - i currently have trouble downloading the linux release.. either \"ovh.dl.sourceforge.net ( Paris, France - Europe )\" is down or my internet connection sucks (again). i will try again tomorrow and then add it to t...

how about a freshmeat entry for blockout II ?

http://freshmeat.net/

this could boost awareness about blockout II...
if you have no time, i could do it for you, too.

really cool! could you make a small screenshot showing blockout II running in a x-window ( i.e. a screenshot that makes it evident that Blockout II is now available for linux) ? - then i would write a new headline for the blockout.net page. i have no linux at hand, otherwise i would do it by myself....

hell! how can you learn that stuff so quickly ? or did you know openGL and SDL beforehand ? ok, SDL is quite easy, but a kickstart in openGL in less than a week is nothing else but amazing! will you stay with openGL and SDL for win32, too? or will you make two versions, linux=sdl+opengl, win32=nativ...
