About DXBomns

DXBomns, in essence, is just a massivly improved, fully-featured Win32/DirectX Bomns game.

It probably took me about two or three years to make this game (pathetic, right?). I kept starting the project, getting distracted, forgetting what I was doing, disliking the existing code structure, and scrapping it. Once I actually got serious about it, though, I ended up programming the whole thing in about three weeks (maybe a couple hours each day on average). And I haven't really touched it since I released the source.

Features

• Up to 4 players.
• Runs on any Windows platform (I think).
• Game options editor for different rule sets.
• Level editor for different powerups/wall configurations, etc.
• All original art and sounds, created by yours truly.
• No installer--runs from wherever you put it.
• Doesn't eat up space in the registry or system .ini files.
• Doesn't use a stupid bitmapped GUI; looks the way windows SHOULD.
• Open source (GNU GPL).
• Awesome in just about every respect.

Development Status

No longer being actively developed. This means, if I find bugs I will fix them, but for now I'm done with it. Sometime in the future I may pick it back up, though.

Released under the terms of the GNU GPL, even though it may not seem like it from the source. I guess you're actually free to use either the license I give you in the distribution, or the GPL. Whatevs.
