Even though the last version of Rocks’n’Diamonds was released more than three
years ago, this new version does not contain that many changes.
The most interesting feature for Mac users is probably that R’n’D
finally supports newer Macs (with “newer” as in “not historic”).
So if you have a Mac with Mac OS X “Lion”, “Mountain Lion” or “Mavericks”,
Rocks’n’Diamonds will finally run on your system.
Most important changes since last release version 3.3.0.1:
- added native package for Macs with intel CPUs
- added support for compiling on 64-bit systems
- added alternative game mode for playing with half size playfield tiles
- added level selection screen (when clicking on main menu level number)
- added displaying if level was played or solved on level selection screen
- improved graphics performance for scrolling in Mac OS X version
- improved graphics performance for native Supaplex game engine
- improved single step mode in R’n’D, EM and SP engines
- fixed two game engine bugs in Supaplex game engine
- fixed displaying wrong Supaplex time (was running too fast before)
- fixed invisible text in envelope config in level editor
For details, see the ChangeLog
file (also included in the package).

This is a minor update of the Emerald Mine Club level collection that fixes
a small graphical bug with exit doors and slightly improves a few graphics
for menu navigation.
The updated level collection package is available
here
or at the
“Levels & Artwork” section!

This is a minor update to add a little feature that was requested to better
support creating tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) tapes for R’n’D levels: It adds
configurable key shortcuts for combined snap and direction player actions that
can be executed in one single game frame (which is possible, but difficult and
error-prone with the existing, separate snap and direction keys).

After the update of Rocks’n’Diamonds to version 3.3.0.0, “R’n’D jue”
is now also updated to the same latest version of the game engine – but this
is not the only change: This brand new version of “R’n’D jue”
contains a great new Sokoban level collection with 1000
hand-selected levels in 19 level sets, created by 6 different authors,
ranging in difficulty from easy to medium, with no level having more
than six boxes, therefore being well-suited also for beginners and makes it
the perfect casual game to play after lunch! :-)
As an additional stunning new feature, the new Sokoban set also offers several
different graphical skins that can be selected and changed at any time while
playing the game!
