Hello all,

A month or two ago I announced the release of BD4, a boulderdash type game.
Since its release over 50000 games have been played worldwide. I am
reannouncing the game since the original release didn't support 16 bit
graphics modes, used busy waits, had poor network code and didn't handle X
events nicely (e.g. losing focus was ignored rather than causing the game o
pause).

Version 4.14 corrects all of the above, with minor changes over version 4.13
which has been unchanged for a few weeks.

So, what is the game all about you ask? Go to the web page and have a look!

Game features include

 - personal player record with email and URL tags
 - central server global high scores (already quite global)
 - single and teamwork game modes (teamwork mode for Java not online yet)
 - many game objects (bugs, aliens, running mines, yam yams, rock,
    different diamonds types, bombs, grenades, keys, doors, special walls,
    nuts, attractor wheels, slime, etc 
 - over 100 levels
 - and more....
 - a java level editor is on the way (it runs fine locally)

Anyway, in general check out:

You won't be disappointed!
