Block Attack – Rise of the Blocks 2.0.0

From Block Attack: link to original post

This is Block Attack - Rise of the Blocks - version 2.0.0

This is the largest change since 1.1.0 more than ten years ago!
The game now uses SDL2 and have a more keyboard, game pad and even touch friendly design!

Compared to the old 1.4.2 a number of changes:

• Uses SDL2. This means textures and sprites instead of old surfaces.
• New config file format
• TTF font support
• Translation support (includes a Danish translation)
• New keyboard and game controller friendly menu system
• Better behind the scenes handling
• Build by a CMake system
• Location of saved games changed in Linux
• Better game controller support (although limited to SDL2 supported controllers)
• Better mouse play
• More modern icon
• Linux saves are now stored under $HOME/.local/share/blockattack

Some known regressions:

• It is not possible to store replays
• There are no network support.

The new back-end will allow it to be implemented smarter in the future. The old version was too difficult to use anyway.

Some regressions that will not be fixed:

• Only SDL2 supported game controllers are supported
• Old config and some saves are lost then converting to 2.0.0+
