I've added a game mode 'Training' where you can hit the hard drop key to enter/leave zero gravity mode (piece doesn't fall down but can be moved) to work on your piece placement at high speeds. Also thanks to Fabrice Fontaine a compile error with gcc 4.8 has been fixed.

I decided to skip one update version and go straight to 1.2 as much has changed. Beside code clean ups, menu simplifications and a slight rehaul of the graphics I've added DAS (delayed auto shift), ARE (entry delay) and changed scoring to match the old NES Tetris. Also the modern stuff like ghost piece, piece bag, wall kicks, DAS charge during ARE is now only enabled for new game style 'Modern'. For 'Classic' you have none of this making the game really hard but also very interesting (let the droughts begin...). As I said I started watching CTWC and wanted to see where I'm at compared to these guys (not even close, I can tell ya, not even close). So basically you can now choose between the casual modern style and the hardcore classic style for all game modes. Game stats are now also available for single player modes.

After watching CTWC (which is awesome) and starting to play tetris again myself I finally took the time to add wide screen support to LTris (my monitor gave me severe seizures in fullscreen...) by using a shadow surface. It is just software scaling but hey at least it is playable again in fullscreen.

As with Barrage: SDL will return bad mouse positions if switching window -> fullscreen. You'll need to switch and then restart the game. Nothing I can do about it, sorry.

This release fixes a crash with resolutions higher then full HD like 4k.

Make Barrage great again! I fixed fullscreen so it uses a proper resolution and proper ratio on non-4:3 monitors like 16:9. I don't know if it works with rare resolutions like 16:10 or 21:9 so contact me if it doesn't. Also there is an option to force a (valid) resolution so, e.g., with barrage -w -r 1280x720 you can play with zoomed window mode. Also hiscores are now installed to the proper machine-wide location.

This release provides a complete german translation by Wuzzy (which actually works now so more translations are welcome) and some minor fixes and enhancements.

I've added a two-player mode with a CPU opponent (same as in online version LMemoryCPU), fixed a few bugs and for anyone who is bored by just matching pairs: You can now match triplets and quadruplets as well!

Since I like to play Memory a lot I pimped LPairs (well actually it's a complete rewrite... nothing in common except the name and the gameplay). LPairs2 uses high resolution animal pictures and allows sets with up to 72 cards (eat this, brain!). You can easily create new sets (themes) as well.

Fixed a number of minor issues and crashes, added stereo sound and shine effect. Thanks to the help of Rafał Rutkowski it will now work on non 16:9 ratios as well.

Since I started playing again a little I updated the Online Chess Club to run on mobile browsers (aka Responsive Design) and fixed a bug in browsing mode. Reminder: It is still meant as a small exclusive club for you and your friends you can easily set up if you have some PHP-ready webspace. Playing requires nothing but a browser on any device.
