Rocks'n'Diamonds

I only just realised......1995

Wow, is it really 10 years old or is that just Artsoft?

We should throw a party anyway!

I believe it actually is that old...I think I started playing it in 1999 or 2000... but the development has really been impressing the last 2 years. CEs...wow!

Holger is from the 80s <- did he say.

That means that he is about 25?

Hey Holger, did you start it when you were 15????

No, he's not.

hm... well, happy birthday rocks and diamonds! i guess...

> Wow, is it really 10 years old or is that just Artsoft?

No, it's really nearly ten years old. I've just had a look into my RELEASES directory:

aeglos@numenor:~/projekte/RELEASES > dir | grep rocks | grep "\-0\."

So as we can see, the first public release of R'n'D was 1995-10-22.
The first bugfix release was then 1995-11-05. ;-)

My software label "Artsoft" is a bit older -- I released my first programs (text/graphic adventures written in C64 BASIC) under that label around 1985 or 1986.

> Holger is from the 80s <- did he say.

That's right -- I wrote "I'm a child of the 80's" in that music thread. :-)

> That means that he is about 25?

Not necessarily. ;-)

> Hey Holger, did you start it when you were 15????

That's right again, as you can see above. But not R'n'D, but programming in general.

Stop!! Let's wait for October! But then it's indeed time for an anniversary party! :-)
