BeSame

Descrizione

A ball-removing puzzle for Haiku and Renku OS: a native port of BeSame 1.0 for BeOS (1999) by Michael Wulff Nielsen, with its original graphics.

Point at a ball and its group of same-coloured neighbours starts spinning. Click to remove the group (two balls or more). The balls above fall down and empty columns close up to the left. Every ball is worth 100 points, but the clock takes 10 points off every half second while the window is active, so be quick. The game ends when no two neighbouring balls share a colour; the five best scores are kept.

There is no source code for the original, so this is a rewrite in modern C++ against the Haiku API, following its behaviour as recovered from the binary and checked side by side against it in a virtual machine. It also runs on Linux (x86_64, aarch64) via Hokku, a Cosmoe fork.
