Chroma v1.0 (Wiz Game)

Chroma is an abstract puzzle game. A variety of colourful shapes are arranged in a series of increasingly complex patterns, forming fiendish traps that must be disarmed and mysterious puzzles that must be manipulated in order to give up their subtle secrets. Initially so straightforward that anyone can pick it up and begin to play, yet gradually becoming difficult enough to tax even the brightest of minds.

Another Thor release within two days only!

OpenSceneGraph is an open source high performance 3D graphics toolkit, used by application developers in fields such as visual simulation, computer games, virtual reality, scientific visualization and modelling.

The toolkit is written in standard C++ using OpenGL, and runs on a variety of operating systems.

Release notes:

29/01/10: OpenSceneGraph test on GP2XWIZ:
The version 2.9.6 of this 3D engine supports OpenGL ES 1 (and 2).
It offers a lot of plugins for common data files (3D objects and images).
I haven’t tested a lot of its features but, unfortunatly, particles don’t seems to work on my WIZ.
