[Windows] [Minigames] [Map Editor] [Sourcecode/Linux]
The current version is 0.94.
The archives unpack themselves into the directory "gs". If you use a strange archiver you should make sure you're unpacking directory names, too :-).
The Windows version runs under all newer Windows versions (Win95/98/ME as well as NT4/2000 und XP).
Minigames are individual games programmed with the GS scripting language. The games have less or no connection to the gameplay of Gravity Strike. They are often are remakes of famous classics like Tetris, Breakout, Asteroids or - one would not believe it - Lemmings.
Although these classics are rather simple, one could suddenly find himself building Tetris pieces for two hours...
Because the main archive would grow too large with all these additional games, you can download them here seperately. You can also download individual levels on the maps page.
This archive contains the following minigames: Bling Bling Scramble, GS Bolo-Ball, GS Breakout, Frapa001/002/003, GS Backgammon, GS Ball, GS Doppelkopf, GS Loopz, GS Snake, GS Tron, GS Vier Gewinnt, GS Invader, GS Kalahari, GS Lemmings, GS Pipe Mania, GS Asteroids, GS Tetris, GS Snake, GS Guys
With this editor you can create simple maps for GS. There is an English HTML documentation included (just press F1 in the Editor) which should be read if you are not familiar with the editor yet.
There is only a Windows version of the editor and it's horribly slow, even on fast computers. But it works and you'll be able to create maps with it :-).
Because every Linux system is different it is best to release the source code. This is the full source, but without some functions used for creating the highscores. So, if you compile GS from source, you can't use the highscore system. Sorry.
The code can be compiled on all platforms where the additional libraries can be compiled. This is (for sure): DOS, Windows and Linux.
At first, here's the source archive, with and without data files. You only need to download the pure source archive if you had previously downloaded one of the other GS archives. Just unzip it into the GS folder.
You need to compile and install the following libraries to compile GS:
- Allegro 4.x -- Download on allegro.cc.
- AllegTTF 2.0 -- Download here.
- JGMod -- Download here.
- RakNet -- Download here.
- Lua 5 und tolua -- You can download this at lua.org, but it's easier to use this archive containing all needed files for both libraries.
The text file gssrc_en.txt in the source archives describes how to properly compile and install these libraries and GS.
