flblocks - the fltk block attack! game
SYNOPSIS
Blocks is a FLTK-based block elimination game. Stacks of colored blocks move from right to left as you try to eliminate groups adjacent
blocks by clicking on them. As the game progresses, more colors are added (up to a maximum of 7) and the blocks move faster and faster.
GAME PLAY
Press the N key to start a game. As the blocks move across the window, click on groups of two or more blocks to clear them - the larger the
number of adjacent blocks, the greater the score. Clicking on a blocks containing a dark ball will clear all blocks of that color, however
you will score much fewer points than a normal click. The game is over when the blocks reach the left side of the window.
Press the spacebar to pause the game.

between - a game about consciousness and isolation
SYNOPSIS
between
DESCRIPTION
Between is a video game written by Jason Rohrer about consciousness and isolation.
Between is a multiplayer-only art game. As a result, some people like it, many people do not get it and some people hate it. Search the
internet for the author's name and the game title to find some discussion about the game before dismissing it. Some sample discussions and
reactions are listed below.
You can play Between with a friend or stranger over the Internet. Both players will see a field, sky, clouds, a square structure and a
shimmering tower. The interface reveals the initial controls (reference below). The players place red-green-blue blocks on the field and
pile them upwards. Placing blocks over the shimmering tower causes pleasant tones while the colours match. Soon enough the players will not
be able to match any more blocks with the complex patterns and colour variety in the tower. To the left is a bed indicating sleep. To the
right is a bright room indicating wakefulness. Cycling through the dream and wakefulness states gives players three different realities in
which to build the shimmering tower. Eventually in the state between dream and reality, mysterious interactions between the two players
block placements and reality cycling patterns will result in blocks with new colours and patterns appearing on the field. These new blocks
can then be used to match more and more of the shimmering tower over time...
The most interesting part about this game is the emotions it evokes within the player of the game. The ultra-low-res pixel art helps here,
by not being too distracting and by leaving plenty room for viewer interpretation.
USAGE
Between has no command-line options.
The left and right arrow keys move left and right.
The spacebar is used to place or grab blocks.
The b/n keys are used to change the colour of the placed blocks.
The s/w keys are used to sleep/wake the player.
The Esc key is used to quit the game.
The game resolution and use of fullscreen or a window can be set by editing the files in /etc/between.
