korab (now korab2) / News: Recent posts

I am sorry for being inactive for such a long time. I have started re-writing korab2 in Java, so the next release will be entirely in Java and will run on any OS that has Java installed. This means that there will be no more Mac-only releases and such.

A new version is released! Also, there is now a release notes page for all versions of korab2. A link to it is located on the korab2 Homepage.

I have updated the korab2 documentation on http://www.tajjada.com/korab2/manual.htm . Actually, 10.8.8 is the first version of korab2 that runs better on Windows than on Mac! I am amazed....

This version has a new graphics and movement system, so it looks a lot better than any of the previous versions. See the screenshots in the gallery on http://www.tajjada.com/korab2/ssgallery.php . Because the core functionality of the game has been changed, there might be some new bugs. Please e-mail me if you find any, so that I can fix them. Otherwise, hope you enjoy the new features! It didn't really work on Linux, so I am releasing it for Mac and Windows only.

The Mac Only release of 10.5.31 had many new features and many new bugs. Many of the bugs have been fixed. This new version, 10.7.26, works on Windows and Linux as well, so it brings the 10.5.31 features improved to Windows and Linux. This is also the first version to work FULLSCREEN in Linux!

The new release of korab2 10.5.31 is here! It didn't really work for Windows and Linux, so I am uploading the Mac version only with the source. It has release notes in the download. Well, you can still port it for Windows and Linux yourself, though.

The next version is going to be released on the 31st of May. No delays this time! Promise! Anyways, the main improvement will be: New, amazing graphics! Well, some other stuff will be added/fixed too, of course. You will see in the release notes....

I am sorry for being inactive for so long... The next release should be ready by the end of the month. I will partially re-write korab2 because of coding issues. The next release will be pretty-much the same, with just a few new features and fixes. Please submit bug reports!

P.S. I will also start tagging each release in the SVN repository!

Since my website doesn't work, I have put the korab2 documentation(still incomplete) on http://korab.sourceforge.net/manual.htm and you can view it there.

korab2 10.4.9 is here! The release notes are included in the download if you want to know what's new. The documentation still isn't finished, but will most likely be tomorrow. Remember that korab2 is for Mac OS X and the Linux and Windows versions are just ports, so they haven't been tested.

The recording feature of korab2 did not work as expected, so the release is coming in an hour with all new features except recording. This is the reason for the delay. Sorry.

I will be releasing the new version of korab2 today, which will have:

New Features:
Horizontal movement of ships. You can now move your ship horizontally and even diagonally.
The korab2 player, for playing your recordings. This feature finally comes in action. The player will NOT support recordings from previous versions.
Recordings will be saved in a custom video format. Your files will now be up to 48% smaller!
Fire skewing. Fires change angle if they collide.
The help manual is being completely rewritten for this release.... read more

The new mailing list, korab-info will be used to send information about all kinds of activity on this project, including announcements, new features, etc... Join now!

A new version of korab has been released! It does not have any new features; it is a bug-fix release. Many of the problems from the previous version were fixed.

The korab2 Help Manual is already finished and you can read it on http://projects.tajjada.com/korab/v10312/manual.htm

I finished rewriting korab, and the new version is available for download! I also uploaded all of the files to the SVN repository. I made a homepage for this project on my website: http://projects.tajjada.com/toc.php?proj=korab
I am still writing the documentation for the new release, and it will be done in a few days.

I have almost finished rewriting korab. The new version will have a lot of new features, and I will post it soon.

I have posted a version of korab that I made a long time ago when I was still a beginner. Because of that, the source code is very messy, and I am planning to re-write the whole thing again from scratch soon.
