TileWorld is an open source interpreter for Chip’s Challenge levels. Chip’s Challenge remains a popular game today, despite having been introduced in 1989 on the Lynx handheld.

The link holds the source code to the “Beta 1” release of TileWorld2x. It is not meant for end users. The archive includes the original TileWorld 1.3.0 source as well. It includes a Makefile for Linux PC and GP2X targets and builds with the open2X toolchain.

PuzzleManiak is a port of the marvelous Simon Tatham’s Portable Puzzle Collection on Nintendo DS. All 27 games are ported on NDS: Tents, Dominosa, Mines, Bridges, Light Up (aka Akari), Pattern (aka Picross), Net (aka Netwalk), Untangle (aka Planarity), Sudoku (aka Solo), Galaxies, Slitherlink (aka Loopy), Blackbox, Mastermind (aka Guess), Map, Filling, Solitaire (aka Pegs), Sixteen, Fifteen, Slant, Rectangles, Netslide, Samegame, Unequal, Flip, Inertia, Twiddle and Pyramid (adaptation of Cube).

Release notes:

For this new beta version, a new feature: the Hall of fame!

The hall of fame replaces the old ‘high scores’ page.
The hall of fame is divided in 4 rankings for each game/each level:
Since the beginning of Puzzlemaniak
Since midnight (GMT)
Since the last 7 days(GMT)
Since the last 30 days(GMT)

The hall of fame stores the 20 best scores of each game/level.
That’s also the case of the Global Ranking, that is now computed for the 20 first players on each game/level (and scores are thus balanced to 200 instead of 100).

I hope you’ll enjoy this new version.

Warning: As this version modifies your score file, please backup it before trying this beta version…
