DxBoulderdash V0.44 alpha release 1 released
Finnally! I've found some time again to update my boulderpage.
From this release, the game is renamed to DX-DIGGEM, for reasons stated below.
I lost great parts of my sourcecode, so I'm afraid not so many news things in this release, however: this release straightens the path for HEAPS of emerald mine level conversions, so be ready for a whole load of new levels .....

Status update
Due to the recent actions of First Star Software, who still holds the rights to the original Boulder Dash (R) game. A lot of Boulderdash clones and fan sites have vanished ... :-(
Sad but true.
DX Boulderdash is also targeted by First Star Software with the demand to stop producing and distributing DX Boulderdash. (For the full text, please refer to David Hansson's homepage.
Allthough I certainly recognise their rights, I don't think they span the entire DX Boulderdash program and data files, So I will most certainly not take DXBoulderdash down.

However: Some elements do fall under the First Star Software rights, and I will do my best to remove these elements from DX-Boulderdash.

First of all: the name "Boulder Dash" is copyrighted for these kinds of games, as are the C64 Spriteset and the levels of the First Star Software Boulder DASh games.

Today, I have removed the C64 Spriteset and the C64 Boulderdash 1 levels (100 levels) from this site and they will not return.

Also, I'm going to rename DX Boulderdash to DX Diggem , so starting from the Next release of DX Bouderdash, the game will be called DX Diggem.

(Next release is planned for mid-august 1999 and will feature LOT'S of bugfixes + a new spriteset + some great tutorial levels by CamyC and others)
