brickshooter is a small puzzle game for linux, where you'll have to clear the central area from different colored bricks. Three or more same colored bricks that touch will vanish. You can shoot bricks into the playing field from the fringes.
You can control the game with either the mouse or the keyboard.
Cursor keys, 'Z' and 'X' change the selected brick, and space will throw that brick into the playing field.
This is a clone of a windows game with the same name, though there are some small differences.
brickshooter also accepts some commandline parameters:
| --help or -h | Shows the commandline options. |
| --level=N | Start playing from level number N. |
| --levelset=NAME | Load a set of levels from file NAME. |
| --debug=N | Sets debugging output level to N. |
| --fullscreen | Turn on fullscreen mode. |
| --random=N | Play a randomly generated levelset of N levels. |
| --nosound | Disable sound effects. |
The newest version is 0.04 (updated 2008.05.07), which you can download here. You'll need SDL, SDL_image and SDL_mixer to compile it.
This game was written from scratch in 4 days, and it's licensed under GPL v2. All sounds generated with sfxr and graphics created with the gimp.
