I am happy to announce the long-awaited release of GNU Ball and Paddle 0.8.0.
GNU Ball and Paddle is an old-fashioned ball and paddle game with a set amount of blocks to destroy on each level, while moving a paddle left and right at the bottom of the screen. Various powerups may make different things occur. It now uses GNU Guile for extension and the levels are written with Guile. Follow the example level sets and the documentation. Most things can be extended, from the skin to the graphics for most objects, and most fonts. Even the block behavior can be scripted now. This means that you may, for example, make a block that will randomly change states until one time it gets destroyed, or destroy the balls, or a combination. The website is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ballandpaddle/ You can get version 0.8.0 on ftp at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ballandpaddle/ballandpaddle-0.8.0.tar.gz Try out the extension features! :-) Happy Hacking Eric P.
