Version 2.2 - 2nd June 1994
|

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
XBoing is a blockout type game where you have a paddle which you use to
|
|
bounce a ball around the game area blowing up blocks with the ball. You win by
|
|
obtaining points for each block destroyed and each level completed. The person
|
|
with the highest score wins.
|
|
|
|
XBoing was started like many other projects to learn Xlib better. I had the
|
|
XPM library and was already using it in a Motif application. I thought that it
|
|
would be cool to have nice colour pictures/animations in an Xlib game. So I
|
|
did. Without the XPM library I would be still playing with the colours I think.
|
|
|
|
Please read the manual page as the manual has some important game play
|
|
information.

|
WARNING: This game requires a lot of grunt to run well. If someone is doing
|
|
a compile or the load is large then expect the game to be a bit
|
|
bumpy and hard to play. Sorry about that. ;-|
