Hall/Loki (<a href="http://www.nostarch.com/plg.htm">Pub: NoStarch, ISBN 1-886411-492</a>), you will have no doubt have downloaded the source code from NoStarch's website.</p> <p>Unfortunately, for a modern distro, the code will just not compile out of the box. </p> <p>I've now gone through all of the code and fixed it so that you can just dearchive out of the box and make the examples (except for the Chapter 4 SDL examples - I must have forgotten to put them in!).</p> <p>It will now work out of the box with libsndfile, OpenAL and SDL with quite a number of corrections to the code and makefiles. All of the code is licenced under the GPL.</p> <p> I have offered the updated code to NoStarch, but as yet have not had a reply. Should they reply and ask for the code to be removed, it of course shall.</p> <p> If you don't have the book, shame on you!

This allows to play network games on non-Unices like Windows. Further on, the audio is now in stereo for a local game and partially stereo for a network game. When using the warp feature you will get the total score of all remaining bricks substracted as a penalty which is better than the previously fixed 5000 points if clearing a level completely. <br> And as I managed to get MinGW to run, I built a win32 zip archive as well."</i></ul> | LBreakout 2.5 | updated | LBreakout |
