Several levels of dificulty. Has the ability to save and load games. You can test your tiles to see if you've made any mistakes and take a snapshot of your game in progress and save it as a GIF. All in all a good solid implementation, that will provide you with one more option for wasting away the hours waiting for your friends to show up online. Program and documentation in German I say new, but it's actually from last year. I just missed it when it was released. However a 2006 release is close enough to new for me to classify it as such.

Back in 1994, someone in my Atari usergroup bet me that I couldn't write an Arcade game that ran in all GEM resolutions. I won that bet at the time with a program known as Astropanic 94. It was one of my first large scale C projects. Since that time, OS's have changed and AstroPanic94 wouldn't run on alot of machines. From time to time people would ask me to update it. Well the code is a mess, it was as I said one of my first large scale C projects. I do offer for your enjoyment Gem Panic. While GEM Panic is NOT Astropanic. It is meant to bring back some of the feel of Astropanic. Colorful sprites fly around the window either trying to ram you or drop a bomb down your throat. Animated explosions flash on the screen while DMA sounds blast out of your speakers. Shoot or die, but watch out or you will blow your Accuracy bonus! There is one major thing to warn you about. Double buffering 8bit sprites takes a bit of horsepower. Realistically an 030 machine or better is needed for play. It has been tested and does run quite well on the CT60.

The few potential entries there were going to be, will not be completed in any sort of nearby time frame. So no voting this year. Maybe we will try again next year.

This year it was a major snow and ice storm just before Christmas. While it was wonderful to get an extra day off of work, it also took out the DSL lines at work. Without DSL lines at work, I can't check that email account. So if you have mailed me in the last week and got no reply. You know what happened now. Hopefully it will be back up before too much longer. So if you were close to being done but need a bit more time to finish take a bit more time and drop me an email. As of the writting of this I have officially received no entries in the compo. When my office is back online I'll get the mail and judge what to do at that point. Sorry everyone. As I said it seem that every year at this time something small comes up that is beyond my control.

Deadline: 24:00 GMT December 28th It runs in GEM in any resolution. - by this it just means that any resolution is acceptable. Not that it has to run in any resolution. An example would be that it might need at least 640x400 to run. It can be a game or toy. - I think you all know what a game is, a Toy is something that serves no purpose but to entertain. There are no goals, scores, etc. No theme this year. If you have an entry.

I had a double whammy happen to me at the end of last week and I'm still sorting it out. First, my laptop's screen has developed a fault and I'm trying to figure how to fix it or what I'm going to do with it. Secondly Netset, which has hosted an email address for me since the early 90's has had a catastrophic incident. At the moment it is uncertain if I will ever be able to get any of my mail or data I had at the site recovered. I will probably rebuild bits of my old site as time goes on. So if you have a hard time contacting me, you know whats up right now. Basically 2 of my email accounts are unavailable to me at the moment. I'm hoping to get some screen shots of some of the recent SDL games soon. I can't run them in any manner on this machine so I've been unable to do it myself. If you are up for helping out with Gemcandy, drop me a comment here and I'll try to get in touch with you somehow.
