Announcements And Comments > Dominator released

Dominator is a puzzle game based on the WinS API. Born as a test for the API it soon became a quite challenging puzzle, so I decided to make a whole little game out of it. I managed to solve the game in 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5 versions: can you do better (6x6 or 7x7)? =)

Get it from www.gbawins.com.

Wow, you checked the post in the 3 seconds it's been here before I added the URL =).

haha, I am fast :P

A tip: First press the dominator to see what buttons you are not allowed to hide :)

The game is really nice, but sometimes it gets a little bit slow :/
Did you ever thought of using mode 3 for WinS? The 256 color background image doesn't really look that good :P

But still, nice job, i hope to see more WinS stuff (what about a pogoshell remake with windows, multithreading and stuff?)

it crashes if you try to close the window...

The version I'm currently working on is already in mode 3, with no speed penalties. The next demo will actually be in 32k colors.

The speed depends on the message spreading system that is to be optimized. It'll be soon better.

The Close button should've been just cosmetic , so I forgot to check its behaviour =).
