Hi folks,

here is a new update

first some screenshots from 3 new skins:

**********************************

**********************************

------------
added
------------

- Change block other way around (using circle.)
- new skin (Curvature)
- new skin (TicTacToe)
- new skin (summer vibes)
- Gameover screen with grafix
- options and settings added
- Exit the game using select (also in text present)
- MP3 playback (plays the song in your mp3 music directory) (not optional yet)

------------
Fixes
------------

- left right control more sensitive (better playability)
- real random game (randomizer changed)
- random theme crash bug fixed
- transparency bug for theme blocks
- line problem fixed (not the error frmariam mentioned.)
- fixed all spellingerrors in the ingame messages
- fixed the strange block change (tnx frmariam for noticing)
- graphical glitch outside the playing field fixed (tnx frmariam for noticing)
- fixed that special block are not seen as normal blocks
- gameover fix when highscore.txt is not found
- FIXED THE LEFT RIGHT BUG

(bug where you press left and then the line goes on and time but the block hangs.)

------------
Still to come
------------

- Chaos game mode (still busy with it, a few specials are in place)
- Trigame game mode (not sure if it will be implemented)
- Highscores for each game mode
- Animated backgrounds (don't know sure yet)
- wave support for ingame sounds

------------
Known bugs
------------

- sometimes there is a rare black line in the upperscreen
- game crashes sometimes when you are just playing with nothing special (still searching for this fix)

Also RJ McCormack has made an alternative pack for the menu of boxyII if you don't like the one i made and he has also made 4 nice themes that can be installed along with them

if you want to install those themes along with the ones already present then you have to make the directories in sequential numbering so they will be 8, 9, 10 and 11 as directory in the themes directory. The pack is available as attachment

greets Ghoti

EDIT :: forgot to tell how the mp3 works

press R to go to the next mp3, no other controls work as of now yet but there will be changes in the next version as well as an option to disable sound and sounds effects of playing

again greets Ghoti

Thanks for including my alt package. Now that you can have transparent tiles, maybe i'll make a few more.
