Bug#116363: ITP: lbreakout2 -- The successor to lbreakout
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2001-10-20
Severity: wishlist
(hmm, reportbug does interesting things with wnpp)
* Package name : lbreakout2
Version : 2.0-alpha
Upstream Author : Michael Speck
* URL : http://lgames.sourceforge.net/index.php?action=show_project&project=LBreakout2
* License : GPL
Description : The successor to lbreakout
lbreakout2 is a complete rewrite of the popular ball-and-paddle game
lbreakout, with greatly improved graphics and gameplay. I have not yet
decided whether to make lbreakout2 a complete replacement for lbreakout
(and request the removal of lbreakout from the archives), or whether to
have both of them in the archive at once. (there's also the possibility
of packaging lbreakout2 under the name lbreakout, but the lbreakout2
announcement describes it as "incompatible" with lbreakout -- I presume
this means level and high-score-wise -- so I'd rather not)
Feedback appreciated on this. (eg, is lbreakout2 too heavy for some
hardware?)
Upstream's release notes from http://lgames.sourceforge.net:
This is a short list of the most important features:
* Perfect paddle (convex and normal behaviour) and ball physics.
* You've never seen such good physics before in a breakout game. I
* promise! <http://lgames.sourceforge.net/gfx/smiley.gif>
* all new 25 levels (well, some might be familiar but as the format
* changed they are not really the same...)
* integrated, full-featured editor
* much improved graphics
* resolution switched to 640x480
* much better input handling
* new bonus: 'End Of The Rainbow' and 'Joker' ( see the Manual )
* up to four players ( alternating )
