LOCKJAW is a free software implementation of the so-called Soviet Mind Game, a highly popular computer puzzle game that involves guiding tetrominoes into neat stacks in a well. This game was designed in the mid-1980s by Russian game designer Alexey Pajitnov and was first implemented in a software product called TETRIS(R).

Changes: v0.45 (2008-04-20)

* New unified speed curve system: less code, more tables, for future loading from a file (bug 0040).
* All speed curves except Rhythm and Rhythm Zero have been ported to the new system. Notably, Master has been rewritten based on the tables from the wiki, and Exponential uses sections. The lock delay speeds up as brutally after 600 pieces as always.
* Added kludge in the basic makefile that allows building on *BSD and GNU/Linux: ‘make linux’ (patch by kesiev).
* ljpath: Fixed a couple misspellings in the non-Windows code path (reported by kesiev).
* ljpath: Supports libfat when running on Nintendo DS.
* A few descriptions of options have been shortened to fit into the new GBA/DS look (reported by Bloodstar; patch by caffeine).
* Writes result and options text to standard output as well as to lj-scores.txt. This allows you to do ‘lj | postprocessor’ even if you can’t do ‘tail -f lj-scores.txt’ (requested by kesiev).
* DS: Writes result and options to /data/lockjaw/lj-scores.txt.

jbs30000 has updated his QBert remake for A2600.

Release notes:

I said I wasn’t going to post any more updates until I was finished with my QBert game, but after re-writing the code, from scratch (literally) over and over again (something like 5 times or so), and getting this far, I just had to post an update.

Coily is now in the game. I made him move half as slow as QBert because since the pyramid is smaller than the arcade or 2600 version, Coily could catch up to QBert very quickly when he moved at full speed. He still can cause problems at his slow speed though, and when I’m finished with the game there will usually be 2 enemies on the screen, so that will make things harder still.

Zaxxon, an italian GP2x user, just made a J2ME PhoneMe porting, that means the possibility to run java mobile phone games on GP2x.

Unluckly Zaxxon has no time to do further releases, so this code needs mantainers! If you’re interested in this project and you think you can improve it , try to do a release! The GP2x community will be grateful for your efforts.

I packed this release using the stuff Zaxxon kindly posted on the italian forums (with his permission), so the project is free for everyone (especially those that want to improve it ;).

It already has very good compatibility and speed, the only issues are the lack of sound and minor cropping problems because of the different resolutions from phone to phone games. There’s also a bindable key to rotate the screen and a method which produces configuration scripts and binds the buttons for games.

This is also an interesting solution for cross-platform homebrew (Mobile Phone-GP2x) using J2ME (Java for Mobile).

Read the readme file I did for further details, here’s the release http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,1,2554

(24/4/08: Edited slightly for readability, though some things not changed due to ambiguity – Tobriand)

The whole point of the program is to unlock you device not with some alphanumeric sequence or a simple key combination, but with a sequence pattern of points on screen.

Then the sequence entering screen is shown, where you need to repeat the configured sequence by taping the moving shapes. Device is automatically locked after soft-reset.
Going to check compatibility/add with different screen lockers (like S2U2) in future versions. Locker does not consume any resources while screen is locked. It is only activated when unlock is initiated.

Current version is in beta stage, so chances are there might be some quirks here and there.

Changes:

– New unlocker – Static picture with absolute positioning (others have relative).
– Config stored in program folder now.
– A bit more user friendly configurator. Shows order of entered points with letters. Loads previous settings.
– Possibility to unlock device with a special ‘panic’ key.
– Letters are shown instead of numbers in unlocker screen.
– Option to automatically lock after soft-reset.
