Source code (C++) of the Amoebax game for Symbian OS UIQ3.x。

Amoebax 0.2.0
=============

- Added demo mode.
- Fade effect between screens.
- The game does not start right away.  It shows a "Ready?" followed by a
  "Go!!" for a short period of time.
- The normal mode can be played either as Kim or as Tom.
- The main amoeba of the falling pair (the amoeba that does not rotate) is now
  visibly different by a glowing silhouette.
- Smooth rotating animations for the falling pair of amoebas and
  animation for the queued amoebas.
- Smooth movement for the pairs waiting on the left/right side of the grid.
- The game now is over when the 3rd column is filled, not when the other
  columns are filled.
- The groups near the top of the grid makes chains now before checking if the
  game is over.
- Fixed the way the score and opponent's ghost amoebas are computed to give
  more importance to the steps rather the number of removed amoebas.
- Implemented the Options menu.
- The keyboard controls are configurable.
- When there is a fatal error the game now shows a platform-specific
  message/alert box instead of dying silently.  On GNU/Linux and GP2X it just
  shows the error at the console.
