LexJongg 1.2 |
Open Source |
|
| Allegro version. Features several
random board layouts and has an (unsupported) layout editor. Written as a preparation for BlitzHack
in 9 hours. Versions for Windows (Direct X) and Linux. Source
code (929 kb) available. Made by Lennart Steinke
("Spellcaster"). From a review:
"It lacks replay value because there are no high scores and you only get to play one random board per
game". How to use the editor: Start the game with the
parameter "editor" (open the shortcut for the game and
editor behind the name of the executable). In the editor use 1-6
to change the layer of the layout. L to load a layout, S to save
it. (Thanks to Lennart!) |
