Version 3.0 of nabu-games is released

Post by productiondave »

Let's go!

https://github.com/linuxplayground/nabu ... s/tag/v3.0

General
Nabu Games has a new platform! Yes you heard it here first. Tetris and Snake are now playable on the Z80-Retro. See release artifacts for a ZIP or tar.gz file containing the CP/M Versions compiled for the Retro.

Generally, the games are a little more stable now. Much of what I learned in order to support the Z80-Retro, I was able to bring back to the Nabu.

Tetris
This release begins to bring Tetris more in line with the Tetris Guidelines Wiki (https://tetris.wiki/Tetris_Guideline). Things to note are:

Narrower playfield. It's astonishing how much harder this small change makes the game.
Correct starting orientation of Tetronimos
Score accumulation is completely overhauled.
Snake
Snake remains the same as before and you will note that the version of Snake is not updated to 3.0 in this release. It seemed crazy to add a release number to snake when not much has changed. Gameplay and scoring remain the same as version 2.2.

Availability
Other than the binary files you can download from here, these games usually make their way into the following internet adapters and CPMs etc.
