The original game

XBlast is a multi-player arcade game for X11, originally written by Oliver Vogel. The original 2.0 version and many more related links can be found here. The 2.6 beta version is also available.

My contributions

I tweaked the original 2.0 source code:

Converted some levels written by Lok for the 1.2 version, and added other levels from different sources: now you have 110 levels to play with!
Removed some code I did not use for efficiency reasons (sound code, color stuff...) and because I feel that THE GAME SHOULD STAY BLACK AND WHITE!, it looks much better this way.

You can also download my version and try it out (244658 bytes).

BlastSaver is a little X-Window screen saver/locker I wrote using XBlast characters, so that the magic of XBlast lives on on your screen when you're away!
