- This is Columns Version 1.97b, a beta of the latest Columns.
- It features many improvements over the versions previously
- on the archives, including, but not limited to:
-
- NeXTSTEP 3.0 Help
- Network HighScores via Distributed Objects
- (grab the gamekit if you want to
- set up a server, lately there has
- been a server at fermat.dartmouth.edu
- but it may not be updated to the
- latest version for a while...)
- Sound and Music simultaneously
- New images and sounds
- Many bug fixes and tweaks/refinements
- Full use of my GameKit package
-
- Columns is shareware and requires a $10 registration fee.
- Those who send in the registration fee are entitled to
- a copy of the complete source code. Since Columns relies
- upon my GameKit, about 60-80% of the code it uses is in
- the GameKit, which may be found on ftp.byu.edu in pub/next.
- (You need both daymisckit and the gamekit as well as the
- CCRMA 3.1 music kit to do gamekit related stuff.) When
- the GameKit approaches stability, I will submit it to the
- regular NeXT archives.
-
- If you have any questions, e-mail to
- Don_Yacktman@byu.edu
- or catch me at NeXTWorld Expo!
-
- Expect to see new versions of PacMan and PillBottle soon.
- If you find any bugs in this beta version, let me know; I'm
- still stomping on bugs in the GameKit, and your assistance
- will help me get the new PillBottle, PacMan, NX_Invaders,
- UnderMiner, and a few other surprises out the door that much
- faster.
-
- Later,
