XRally 1.1

XRally project is a X11 clone of the Rally X arcade game. In Rally X, you control a blue car which has to run through a maze-like level collecting flags and avoiding colliding with enemy (red) cars. In order to protect itself, the blue car can discharge clouds of smoke which stun the enemy cars for a while. The enemy cars can also crash into each other, what gives you some extra time. One of the main features of XRally is that it is fully customizable. You can create custom tilesets and levels and load them at run time, changing the entire look of the game. (You could, for instance, create a water tileset, using boats instead of cars.) Whats New in This Release: - Added the Easy Level, that should be suitable for begginners - Fixed bug in the radar display (was displaying some weird green lines) - Fixed some segfaults, added others - Updated xpm2xrally a bit more forgiving about the xpm file syntax - And now it outputs the maps on the new map format - Changed the maps a bit (some of them were way _too_ hard) - Removed some unecessary stuff - Added a xm2mod utility, to convert xm music to mod (XRally format) - Added a Intro tune - Added a new level option, "resol", the sets how many tiles are painted on the screen at a time (see a example on the Leo Level) - Added html documentation, written by Josh Franklin - sound now works on PowerPC - Debian files added to the main repository to make debian package maintenance easier. - Loads of sounds enhancements - Fixed bug when the player wasnt receiving his extra lives (some changes of - score.value didnt check for it) - Changed the layout of the info bar, now contains the level name, the number of the current map, the total number of maps and the hiscore for this level - Some code cleanup - Added ANSI color codes to debug messages - Changed the intro menu - Added a big nice background image - Added blending effect to the menu. - Added shading/unshading effect to the meu. - Changed the position of all the item/texts - Indentation fixes (using tabs instead of spaces) - Added blended windows to splash screen messages, hiscores messages and in-game windows - Changed the default border color from a window from red to gray (is that border necessary?) - Changed the layout of the splash screen (to take advantage of all the new screen space) - Added a more informative level description (w/ the speed of the cars on the first map) - Slowed down the default speed (from 12 to 9) - Displays menu help on the main menu screen - Displays game help on the splash screen - Changed the graphics API - Changed some of the FPS counting routines (now it should be better to benchmark the game) - Displays Expected frame len and Real frame len on end of map (good to see if your computer is fast enough to play the game).
