Dear visitors,

I am still on vacation and this wont change for the next month. Ocassionally I try to support kedo with his effort to keep PDRoms running while gone.

You may have recognized, that there was no additional support for about two weeks, this was due to catching Malaria. I am on the way back to normal and recover pretty fast.

Damn those parasistes and back to newsing 🙂

Regards
Kojote

Unity was originally invented in Japan 1985 as “Chain Shot!” by Kuniaki Moribe. After that it has spread all over the world with names such as SameGame, TumeGame, KomeGame, MameGame, DebaGame, TileFall, Cabeem, MaciGame, GD-BMD etc.

The idea is to clear the whole playing area by removing tiles in groups. The more tiles you remove at the same time, the more points you get.

Changes:

* New keyboard shortcuts:
* 5 – New game
* * – Small board (star)
* 0 – Normal board (zero)
* # – Large board (hash)
* 7 – Take screenshot (was star previously)
* Settings: cursor wrap ON/OFF
* Cursor wraps around board edges
* Accelerator sensor support (Sensor API)
* Keyboard support to emulate Sensor API:
* 2 – Drop tiles upwards, shift columns right
* 4 – Drop tiles leftwards, shift columns up
* 6 – Drop tiles rightwards, shift columns down
* 8 – Drop tiles downwards, shift columns left
* Settings: down arrow ON/OFF
* Tested on: N77 (no sensors), N82 (sensors)

Abcd1234 has ported the NetHack variant Slash’EM to Nintendo DS.

Release notes:

Well, after spending the entire summer doing basically nothing with this thing, this last weekend I had a bit of inspiration and built ports for the two major NetHack variants, SporkHack, and Slash’EM. Now, these are *definitely* ALPHA releases… I’ve barely had a chance to do any playtesting with these things. But I figured, I might as well get them out there now and see if any low hanging fruit is caught.
