Hi folks,

I have made a new version of boxy ii. THIS IS NOT A LUA GAME !!!! ( alot of sites say it is so hopefully now they know otherwise)

I have added an early version of the chaos game mode for you to play. hopefully you will enjoy it. I also did not change the names of the game directories so that alot of you don't have a problem with this, hope it helps.

Please not however that this is still not the final version of the game so there can and probebly will be errors in it. I have however tested the game alot of times and I have played session for over an hour so it is more stable as the previous release. However there is still one bug that can come whenever wherever and i haven't figured that one out. I you come across it please let me know what exactly was the current state of your level or something so that i can narrow my search for the bug.

Well as ussual some new screenshots of the new themes:




and my change log:

- new skin (Cards)
- new skin (reptile)

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

------------
known bugs
------------

- when you restart a game like 3 times the fourth the game will crash
- After deletion of some blocks (sometimes after 45 minutes of playtime so debugging is tough) the game crashes

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 ...
