Minor update of Emerald Mine Club level collection

This is a minor update of the Emerald Mine Club level collection that fixes a small graphical bug with exit doors and slightly improves a few graphics for menu navigation.

The updated level collection package is available here or at the “Levels & Artwork” section!

Rocks'n'Diamonds 3.3.0.1 released!

This is a minor update to add a little feature that was requested to better support creating tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) tapes for R’n’D levels: It adds configurable key shortcuts for combined snap and direction player actions that can be executed in one single game frame (which is possible, but difficult and error-prone with the existing, separate snap and direction keys).

Now available from the Download section!

Special edition "R'n'D jue" version 3.3.0.0 released!

After the update of Rocks’n’Diamonds to version 3.3.0.0, “R’n’D jue” is now also updated to the same latest version of the game engine – but this is not the only change: This brand new version of “R’n’D jue” contains a great new Sokoban level collection with 1000 hand-selected levels in 19 level sets, created by 6 different authors, ranging in difficulty from easy to medium, with no level having more than six boxes, therefore being well-suited also for beginners and makes it the perfect casual game to play after lunch! :-) As an additional stunning new feature, the new Sokoban set also offers several different graphical skins that can be selected and changed at any time while playing the game!

Rocks'n'Diamonds 3.3.0.0 released!

This version finally contains the new native Supaplex game engine to play all original Supaplex levels exactly as they played in the classic game. This new game engine is fully compatible with the original game, including all recorded demos as well as all tricks and bugs of the original game engine. It is based on the engine code of the game Megaplex, which itself is an exact clone of Supaplex, but the game engine in R’n’D is a bit more compatible than Megaplex regarding special levels that use dirty memory tricks that only worked in the original DOS version of Supaplex so far.

Most important changes since last release version 3.2.6.1:

  • added native Supaplex game engine
  • added support for native Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
  • added support for native Sokoban levels in XSB level file format
  • added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
  • added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
  • fixed potential crash bug in quickload and quicksave functionality
  • fixed some bugs with single step mode (and added it to native engines)

For details, see the ChangeLog file (also included in the package).

Special edition "R'n'D jue" version 3.2.6.1 released!

After the update of Rocks’n’Diamonds to version 3.2.6.1, “R’n’D jue” is now also updated to the same latest version of the game engine! More information and download links can be found here:

As the previous version (R’n’D jue 3.2.6.0) had the same crash bug as R’n’D 3.2.6.0, while the last stable version (R’n’D jue 3.2.5) had some major limitations and bugs, it is highly recommended to upgrade to the latest version to play this special version of R’n’D!
