Version 0.1.3 released07/25/00
by jamie gennis
This release features a new GUI level editor. You can now also load individual levels from files with G-Star, so you can actually play the levels you make :)

I am looking for new levels and tilesets to include in G-Star, so if you're feeling creative, why not whip some up? Anyway, hope you like it.

I fixed whatever caused this site to spit out php error. I really have no idea what happened... I was away for a couple weeks and when I got back it was all screwed up. Oh well... I'm back now, so there should be a new version of gstar coming out kinda soon.

I spent the day learning php and redoing the web site with it. It's pretty fun and quite easy. The content is all the same, I just changed the look of it. I hope you like it... if you want to comment on it just give me a holler.
Version 0.1.2 released07/01/00

Here is version 0.1.2, it has a few minor bug fixes and some improvements. I'm going to set up the cvs tree soon for anyone who is interested... I'll announce it here when I do, so check back soon if you want to contribute. Also, any suggestions on how to do the score tracking would be appreciated :)

Here's what I was thinking about doing:
I will move all the levels into one big game file (for each set of levels that is... there will be multiple 'games' which will just be a group of levels). Then I can keep track of the top 10 or 5 scores for each game. I will also have a 'play level' option for people that want to make a single level, or test a new level. You will not be able to play the later levels of a 'game file' without first completing the previous ones.
