Alpha transparencly isn't hard, although it is fairly slow. A launcher shouldn't be bad though as it doesn't have to worry about 60fps animation or anything.

I thought it was really hard. I guess programmers are just lazy when they make UGLY interfaces.
BTW vilmos i just downloaded another two of your zodiac games (reverZi and Noiz2sa), and the ROCK! Is there a place where you keep all of them?

Seems like it's the same gameplay, but just two different games.

Hey thanks for the kind words. I have my site in my sig for most forums, did I forget to do it here? Oops.
Spout is a very simple particle cave flyer.
Thruster is the same idea...but with a bunch of new features - like colour! ;D Oh and I should mention I just ported Spout, but I created Thruster from scratch with the help of Mentis for music and graphics.
Anyway you can replay games, even the high scores, add your own music and there are three game types.
I am actually working on an update for it, but I haven't spent much time coding lately. I'm taking a break from coding and learning how to polish gems. When I do get around to finishing the update it will have powerups and even more game types, the ability to create your own backdrops and colour schemes and an adjustable music path. I've completed most of that actually just need to get around to finishing it!

Lapidary is fun  Especially using the cutting tools (they can cut any stone softer than diamond, but won't cut your finger). |

I am having great fun with the lapidary hobby. I bought an Inland SwapTop and 20 pounds of assorted gemstones. Now I'm finding all sorts of neat stones in the mix.
Next I'll have to learn how to identify some of these...I've polished up some Labradorite, tiger's eye, blue tiger's eye, green aventurine (I think) and some other mystery rocks...heheh.

I don't go to emuboards anymore. Besides there is a general topic here, or you can talk about my software on my own forums. I'd have to activate you though, d**n spambots!

I attahced it. I was thinking the menu is like a menu (duh), the wrench is per game settings, when you tap it or press the direction of it, it slides to the middle and the others slide to make room. The wrench shows the same screen, but when you tap the game it shows you a settings screen instead of launching it. icefire what did you design this in? looks good |
