Rocks'n'Diamonds

The DL page says the .zip is 9 MB, actually 11 or 12, looks like copied from the BD section :)

`xz -9e` gets it down to 72% (8.5M); `lrzip -zL9` 56% (6.5M); `zpaq -m5` 49% (5.7M) -- though I doubt you'd want to distribute in the latter two rather more obscure formats...

P.S.: R'n'D already contains its first AI generated patch. Unfortunately, it does not fix the bug I hoped it would fix. :(

Huh, pretty much exactly the experience I expect with AI coding...

(The project would be inconvenienced if, for instance, these forums suddenly disappeared because the artsoft.org domain name went unpaid, or the hosting hardware or its power or ISP connection were to be shut down -- so there are some sensible legacy questions about those things. But these seem like...

All of the source is visible, so anyone could create a fork -- all legalities aside. ./COPYING is a copy of GPLv2. So the legalities are something along the lines of 'you can copy and modify it, and distribute modified copies, as long as you always make your version of the source available'. I am no...

Speaking as a viewer (and person who has looked inside the RnD code from time to time) -- the above proposals would amount to a tremendous amount of work. And one of Holger's guiding lights throughout this entire project has been careful , detailed backwards compatibility. Your ideas are possible, b...

I am curious whether the fix in 4.4.2.1 is purely cosmetic; or whether the described / displayed behavior affected game logic. The shown images look like the falling diamond would block a monster arriving at a precise time, whereas if the diamond just magically appears in the dug-away cel, the monst...

Hmmm. If you have old backups of your account, you could probably extract and find it. But it's getting to be a more advanced project :)

Onyx, can you trigger these things at will? Do it under `gdb`?

Bryan used `gdb` in the first post about this, and it's all under KDE, so `make gdb` should be well in hand :)

I guess you could A/B test by switching back to the previous theme and seeing if RnD gets sick again. And then, if proven, state what the 'bad' and 'good' themes are, which would give a basis for others to try to reproduce it...

Some sort of caching problem then... I just re-followed the link from this message and it was still the old version. Then reloaded the page and it finally showed up.

Where is the new link on Levels & Artwork?

I mean the diff is literally: diff -wrU0 ./Makefile ../Data/Makefile --- ./Makefile 2026-03-27 22:18:20.351949803 -0700 +++ ../Data/Makefile 2014-09-21 23:11:22.000000000 -0700 @@ -49 +49 @@ -# SPECIAL_EDITION = rnd_jue +SPECIAL_EDITION = rnd_jue diff -wrU0 ./src/conf_hlp.c ../Data/src/conf_hlp.c --...

The RnD source in the Windows .zip appears to be nearly unmodified 3.3.0.1 (one weird typo added). So the contained levelset should work perfectly well under mainline RnD 3.3.0.1, and -- one hopes -- equally so under 4.4.1.3 :)

Cool, thanks. The older pages on WayBack had separate download links for Windows / Mac / Linux, while this one is Windows-only. I successfully dl'd but can't test anything right now, as my desktop / gaming machine just went on the fritz in some mysterious fashion (sigh)...
