Subject: [Caml-list] ANN: Boulder Dash in OCaml
Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2024 16:55:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7F296476-3CFC-4E74-B3F9-462A438A1BD6@mpi-sws.org> (raw)
Boulder Dash(*) was my favourite computer game in the 8-bit era, first released on the Atari 400/800 in 1984. Though I never owned an 8-bit machine myself, I had friends that I annoyed enough to let me play it on theirs.
As a homage to its 40th anniversary, I put together a fairly faithful clone of the original game, implemented in just a few 100 lines of bare OCaml, with nothing but the homely Graphics library. It should run on Windows, Mac, and Linux, though I was too lazy to test the latter.
Features:
• Faithful original physics, graphics, and animations
• Authentic scrolling mechanics combined with dynamic window resizing
• All 20 levels, including intermissions, and 5 difficulties
• Pause-and-go mode for relaxed playing
It is open-source here:

Enjoy!
