Didn't score more than about 400 thus far, though. But I'll try just
one more time now...

Cheers, Marcel
"just one more time now" in the early hours of the morning... Ha, Marcel is addicted!

Seriously though, Tobias has made good use of the facilities in recent SMSQ/E, GD2 etc. by making use of high colour, high resolution, colourful sprites, animation, sound, Home Directory extension and so on. It's one of those games that show the capabilities of modern QL systems.

Interestingly, it was written using Easyptr and compiled with Turbo. Thanks to George Gwilt, Easyptr programs can be Turbo compiled these days, although most people (myself included) tend to use Easyptr with QLiberator compiler. Tobias also used George's U-Config to give QJewels a level 2 config block, so you can, for example, configure it using MenuConfig to use different sound files if you really want to. Or if you prefer, turn the sound off altogether!

Having said that, I haven't yet been able to try it with SMSQ/E on QemuLator, Aurora, Q40 etc - if anyone can try it on one of these systems I'm sure Tobias would value the feedback.
