BlingBling

You've reached the home page of BlingBling. BlingBling is a game. Specifically, it is a clone of the puzzle game Puyo Puyo (which itself was a competitor of Tetris). It's bitchin'. Oh by the way, it works in Windows and Linux. It probably also works in most other UNIX flavors, but I've only tried compiling it on those 2 platforms. Seems I forgot to mention that.

News!

As always, check the ChangeLog to see what's new.

Sat Aug 29, 20003: BlingBling 1.1 has been released! It's sporting animations, connection highlighting, and a better UI.
Wed Aug 13, 2003, Later that day...: We have icon. The Windows version is a little prettier now.
Wed Aug 13, 2003: First release of BlingBling! Get it while supplies last!

Download it

It comes in 2 flavors: Windows, and source code. The Windows self-installers were made using NSIS, my favorite installer generator.

Windows version: blingbling-1.1.exe. It requires a bunch of libraries, which you can conveniently download here (or you can let the installer download them for you). For some reason which I can't figure out, the Windows version is significantly slower than the Linux version. I'm blaming it on the GUI library I use, since when I remove the code to draw to the screen, much less CPU is wasted. If anyone has any clues, I'd love to hear from you.
Source code: blingbling-1.1.tar.gz

Requirements:

BlingBling requires the following libraries (Windows users need not worry, they are downloaded automatically):

SDL 1.2: www.libsdl.org
SDL_image 1.2: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image
SDL_mixer 1.2: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer
SMPEG 0.4: http://www.lokigames.com/development/smpeg.php3
ParaGUI 1.0.4: http://www.paragui.org/

I'm not exactly sure which versions will work. The versions I have listed are just what I used.

Screenshots

If you are skeptical of my artistic abilities, just feast your eyes on these real-time beauties. Each is from a different version. Notice how much more the new version rocks (you might have to squint).
