Wizznic!

Wizznic is an implementation of Puzznic for Gp2X Wiz, Windows and Linux. It is made very easy for non-programmers to contribute Levels/Graphics and sounds.

Wizznic is a puzzlegame where you have to match bricks of the same kind, this is not as easy as you'd think.

What is new in this release:

• Reordered levels
• Corrected some misaligned text
• Changed level file naming from levelX.wzp to levelXXX.wzp (level0.wzp is now level000.wzp and level10.wzp is level010.wzp).
• Time that it takes for a brick to "die" affects the framerate of the expl-animation, this value can now be set from each level.
• Particle systems have a layer associated, either PSYS_LAYER_TOP, PSYS_LAYER_UNDERDEATHANIM or PSYS_LAYER_UNDERBRICK.
• "Thor" theme by ViperMD.
• Tiles 0-17 can be animated from files TILEBASE-tile#.png, animation runs at 12 fps, one row of images, number of frames abritary.
• Clocked wiz up to 600 mhz since the pixel plotting function became a bit heavier.
• OpenGL support is enabled by default, compile with WITH_OPENGL=false to disable. See readme[1.0.4] for more information.

What is new in version 0.9.1:

• When completing a pack, PACKNAME/finished.png is loaded and shown instead of wall-o-text.
• Moved some levels around, removed some levels. 80 levels total.
• Level editor now reads and writes all level properties, including optional ones.
• Added another intro level to teleports, added intro-images to those levels.
• Updated the cursor in the NES pack.
• Removed "template" pack, it does nothing that the main pack does not show already.
• Fixed music changing in intermediate screens.
• Fixed crash that could happen when entering highscores.
• Program now calls SDL_Quit() on exit (resets screen-resolution if in fullscreen)

What is new in version 0.9:

• Lots of bugfixes, code cleanup, improved gameplay.
• Lots of new levels, replaced many levels. 82 levels in total now.

What is new in version 0.8 Final:

• Fixed a bug in the level-preview-dump function that made a black image if no start/stop image found.
• Thumbnailer works again (on levels that refer to themes that are installed)

• Removed an error message that were printed even though there was no error.
• Pack-List is now sorted.
• Added Puzznic! Stage 09 pack by KML
• Script to make releasing for Linux (Source package) and Wiz automated.
• More linux-friendly
• Linux specific Makefile
• Renamed Makefile to Makefile.wiz (to avoid confuzion with the linux Makefile which is called Makefile.linux)
• Linux version can be compiled so it saves user files (player & editorlevels) to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or $HOME (like most *nix apps)
• Read more about this in doc/install.txt
• Level-Editor menu screen is made a bit less cluttered.
• Clone level function (create a new level, with the contents from another level, so it is easier to make variations of existing levels)
• Player was not asked to enter highscore after "completed game" screen was shown.
• Added Silver pack.
• Teleports added
• Greeter/Credits added to welcome screen
• Added a "template" pack (essentially just a copy of the wizznic pack, without the levels/music), can be used by content creators as a starting point for creating a pack.
• Tweaked the ingame interface a bit.
• Lots of minor changes.
• Changed readme a bit, it's still not accurate though.
• Fixed a crashbug due to improper memory access.
• Fixed all compiler warnings.

What is new in version 0.7 Alpha:

What is new in version 0.6:

• Support for 10 brick types, one-way floors and glue. (Each field on board is now two bytes, breaks old levels)
• Timer now stops when a level is completed.
• If you make the level unsolvable (if there is only one of a type of brick left) you die.
• Particle system.
• Tweaked cursor-control speed.
• Falling bricks "magnet" a moving brick if it's close enough, instead of landing of it, and then sliding off.
• perl script to convert existing levels into the new format. (./lvlconvert.perl levelfile.wzp)
• Cursor magnets to bricks moving away or into it's current position (makes it easier to grab bricks on a mover)
• Cursor no longer locks up if you click grab while it's moving from one brick to another.
• Couple of interesting puzzles contributed by MKL.
• Fixed countdown bug when platform is moving.
• Fixed subtracting time after level complete
• Cursor-Locked image.
