Xonix is an old action game.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of the game is to move the player across the empty region
|
|
(whereby it leaves his way in a brown color to show where it came
|
|
along), and finally cut off a piece of unfilled region by moving him
|
|
back to some filled region. If the player itself or the (unfilled
|
|
yet) way will be hit by a flyer, a life will be lost again. Once the
|
|
player's way reached another part of filled region, the way and all
|
|
adjacent unfilled regions where there is no flyer in will be filled in
|
|
turn. One level has completed as soon as 75% of the originally
|
|
unfilled area have been filled this way.
|
|
|
|
Every level, there will be one flyer more. Every second level, an
|
|
additional player will be granted. Every fifth level, an additional
|
|
eater will be fired off.
|
|
|
|
The original xonix game has been seen somewhere on an old PC/XT clone.
|
|
This is a reimplementation from scratch, done by Torsten Schoenitz
|
|
starting the project on a Macintosh. The X11 support has been written
|
|
by Joerg Wunsch with the pleasant help by Alfredo Herrera Hernandez.
