Rubiwin
« on: July 25, 2007, 12:34:44 PM »

Let's see... I like Rubicon... and I like to program computer games.... if we put the two together, what do we get? Ah yes, a computer version of Rubicon!

I started writing Rubiwin about a month ago, and it's now in version 2.0. It uses Kevan's graphics (it's in the about box that it's your), and it has some new pieces. Rubiwin has (in the way of new pieces) Sideways Pipes, Sideways Copiers, Special Copiers that copy anything, Super Furnaces that destroy anything, Bombs that explode (turn into Super Furnaces for 1 tick) when they fall into Furnaces, Detonators that explode all bombs when a block falls onto them, Portals that when a block falls into one, it comes out of all the others, and Anti-Gravity Devices which reverse the gravity effect for that column (can be blocked by a Girder). Keys, Ramps and Winches do not work, Boolean Lights can have barrels to match as well as crates, and the item underneath a gate must be a barrel. In Rubiwin, you can also stretch the screen size (which is originally 16x16) to 32x32 or 8x8. If you have any complaints, please tell me about them. If you want me to remove the link, Kevan, you're welcome to do so as well.

If you take four, and then add four, and then take away, add, subtract, add, add, multiply by, subtract, raise to the power of, divide by, and add four, and then find the reciprocol, what do you get? Of course, it's obviously 0.058823529411764705882352941176471! Duhhh!

Four is the answer to all!

I see that it's fixed, but the download doesn't work. Also, does anyone know if it runs in WINE, or if hatkirby would provide the source code?

Sorry, but Rubiwin's been taken down to be rewritten. For both Linux and Windows, this time.

I'm pretty sure I did announce that I'd be taking them down on my blog at some point, but work on it hasn't moved that far yet. If you like, however, the original 2.5 release is still available here: http://other.fourisland.com/backup/rubiwin/Rubiwin2.5.zip.

Does it use any platform-specific APIs? If not, could it be made to run natively on OS X?
