Thor has released the sources to his game Gears Of Fate.
The goal of "Gears Of Fate" is to reach the red square with the green ball. This is reached by rotating the board, while undo is possible while the board still rotates.
Colored tiles are removed when three of them are regrouped. Grey tiles can not be removed at all. Dark colored tiles are removed once all tiles of the same color have disappeared.
Thanks to Thor himself for the news via e-mail!

This entry works on REAL HARDWARE where you have better sound but vector animations are slower. If you run this in an emulator: Using 12Khz WAV makes some emulators go nuts. Seems to work fine with NEOPOP 0.71 on Windows; Sometimes slower, sometimes faster than real HW.

It's reality again, here comes PDROMS CODING COMPETITION v4.01 - Retro Coding Fun for Console and Handhelds!
Coding on "closed" handhelds or consoles must not be a privilege; dozens of free development kits proof the opposite. The steadily growing "homebrew scene" produces unlicensed software for devices not meant to be open for everyone.

PDRoms has always been in the homebrew scene to support the creation of new homebrew software, support programmers and artists. To show our love to the homebrew scene once again, here comes the ninth PDRoms Coding Competition.

From 1st April 2009 to 31st May 2009 PDRoms will be hosting another coding competition. This time we will only allow 8 BIT systems (as another sister site wants to go for newer mainstream systems and we don't want to collide).
In particular the following systems are allowed (subject to change): Atari 2600, Coleco Vision, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Game Gear, IntelliVision, Master System, Neo Geo Pocket, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Nintendo Entertainment System, Odyssey2.
The topic is decided, but you have to wait till 1st April 2009 for details.
We are currently seeking for judges and sponsors - please get in touch with us if you can help or want to supply goodies which we can give out as prizes.
