initial release

Columns is my first 24h game -- Click here to take a look at the deluxe version and here to see what it looks like without a nice background picture. Both screenshots are from the 1.0 release, but the visual side of the game didn't change much since then.

The game is implemented using SDL, so you will probably need to install this library before compiling the game. Please get the latest CVS version or version 0.9.13 of SDL if you want to compile the game yourself. Columns doesn't work with 0.8.*! I developed it under Linux, but you should be able to run Columns under Windows as well, although I wasn't able to verify this yet.

The source is in the public domain; do with it whatever you like. I can't guarantee that I will be able to maintain this game, but feel free to contact me if you find any bugs or want to contribute anything. It would be nice to know if there is actually anyone who likes and/or plays the game...

project 2: who knows... maybe it'll be Breakout?

I thought this would be a matter of a few hours, but I ran into some unexpected problems with SDL. Until I find a satisfactory way to solve them, this project will have to wait... :|
