 Friday, 3 June 2004 - A Boxed Linux?

Boxes (called 'Boxed' under Linux) is now available for download in the software section. Currently only a source distribution exists, and it should compile smoothly on all Linux and other Unix-based platforms. I distribute it under the GNU License. I programmed the game in C++ and it compiles with gcc.

 

 Saturday, 22 May 2004 - Record Boxer!

After playing day and night, without breaks for food, water, nor sleep, David Knowles broke level twenty in Boxes. I uploaded an image from his adventure.

When asked about Boxes, David replied, "This game is not for the impatient. Peeps that do not love severe challenges will never see the higher levels. [The squirels] seem to smell blood after level 20, and the slightest move brings terror to Smiley. [Squirels] act like they are on speed!"

Soon the Linux version will be released (as soon as I figure out how to make distributions.) I hope that it encourages more people to play as obsessively as David.
