"Gem Drop X" is an interesting one-player puzzle game using the
|
|
Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) libraries.
|
|
|
|
It is a direct port of "Gem Drop," an Atari 8-bit game written in Action!
|
|
(a very fast C- and Pascal-like compiled language for the Atari).
|
|
|
|
It was originally ported to X11, using SDL for sound and music.
|
|
Eventually, the Xlib graphics calls were removed and replaced with
|
|
SDL calls.
|
|
|
|
The concept of the game "Gem Drop" is based on an arcade game for the
|
|
NeoGeo system called "Magical Drop III" by SNK.
|
|
|
|
If you're familiar with games like Jewels, Klax, Bust-A-Move or Tetris,
|
|
this game is similar to them all. I consider it closest to Klax.
|
|
Some people have compared it to "Tetris meets Space Invaders."
