Almost every file has been touched by this revision. <ul> <li>The command line -geom option has been replaced by a -geometry option which will allow the window width, height, and position to be set. <li>A bug in how asteroids were deleted from the linked list which causes a crash was fixed. <li>A command line option called -freshrc has been added so that a "standard" .a3drc file can be printed by the program so users can capture it and modify it to their liking. <li>A command line option called -rcfile has been added to allow users to specify a file other than $HOME/.a3drc as their .a3drc. <li>The options keys are now toggles, so pressing a key once will change an option, pressing the same key a second time will change it back. <li>The options toggle keys have been remapped to be consistantly at the top of the keyboard ( of course, soon you'll be able to put them where you like ). <li>The keyboard rotation controls are now more smooth and behave in a proportional manner, so that the longer you hold down a key, the faster the ship will rotatate. <li>The README file was updated. <li>Added a plasma effect for the torpedo. <li>added a sound ( and a bit of code ) for the torpedo <li>added the shield sound. I'm going to work on improving the sound code. <li>added a tools subdirectory for little programs which I use to help me out. <li>added the contrib directory (finally). </ul> | Asteroids3D 0.2.0 | updated | |

Once you fill the 4 holes of the spinner with matching balls, the spinner turns off and the balls disappear. You start with 4 spinners, and you get more and more spinners as you progress.

| 1519 | -1 | 2000-11-14 08:10:30 | <em>Category:</em> Puzzle<br> <em>Description:</em> This game is a small puzzle game. CONTINUE READING! It is a maze. The only interesting part about it is that your mouse is stuck inside the maze. Your mouse can only follow the maze. Your mouse can't exit the maze. It's very interesting to see that this can be done. There is also an option so you can't quit the game and to trap keyboard keys so you can't exit. If you kill the program from another terminal, your x server might crash. Great to play a joke on someone! | xlaby 2.0.2 | new | |
