![]() ![]() Microsoft suggested the name Bejeweled, a pun to the film Bedazzled, along with other names. However Microsoft suggested a name change as the name sounded too similar to an existing game, Diamond Mines, and wanted a unique name of the game for their website. PopCap later developed Diamond Mine into a full title with partnership of Microsoft, which allowed the Microsoft Zone and other game sites to host Bejeweled, including advertisement versions of the game. ![]() Development on Diamond Mine lasted less than a month. The game's original name, Diamond Mine, was named after the song by Canadian country rock band Blue Rodeo, and featured a cave mining theme. Diamond Mine was developed on the Java platform and was released for web browsers in November 2000. Around the time the game was almost finished, a difficulty level without the time limit was added in-game as the default starting level, which was intended to act as a tutorial. Originally, the game was planned to release without any timed modes, but a time limit feature was added to give the game "an arcade-like feel". The team decided to use simple geometric shapes, but found them to be boring, until game designer Jason Kapalka brought up ideas for playing pieces a few of them which involved transforming the geometrical shapes to give them a "gem-like appearance", which led to gems being used in the final product. Gems were considered as well, but was rejected after not being able to find interesting variations of gemstones on the internet. Fruits were considered at one point, but was rejected since many fruits "looked too round". The team decided on what objects would be used as the playing pieces. The team decided to give the playing pieces (which were originally squares) unique looks to give them personality, and make the game accessible for colorblind people. The development team disliked the presentation (as the game was poorly coded and needed a page refresh for every move) but liked the gameplay, which led them to recreate the game with an improved presentation. Diamond Mine was mainly based on Colors Game ( Shariki), a game that involves matching three or more colored boxes, but lacked unique visuals, animation or sound. Development ĭevelopment on Bejeweled began around 2000 following Sexy Action Cool's rebranding to PopCap Games, with the team wanting to make a game that was "simple, web-based, and made in Java". If the player runs out of moves in this mode, a new game board appears instead of getting a game over. The progress bar starts halfway at the beginning of each level, and drains away faster in later levels. The Time Trial (Timed in the web version) game mode features similar rules to the Normal mode, with the only difference being that the progress bar drains when the player is not making any moves. When no more moves are possible, the game ends. (On Level One, a match of three is worth 10 points, on Level Two it is worth 15, on Level Three 20, etc.) The number of points required to reach the next level also increases in turn. When filled completely, the player progresses to the next level, where the board is reset, and the points multiplier is increased by 0.5. Scoring points fills up the progress bar on the bottom of the screen. ![]() The Normal (Simple in the web version) game mode involves attempting to score as many points as possible. The player is able to use the Hint button to find a match, but will subtract points and reduce the progress bar if used.īejeweled features two game modes, each with a different set of rules. When gems are cleared from the board, gems above the game board fall downwards, potentially causing chain reactions, which award more points to the player. Lining up more than four gems or performing multiple matches at once awards bonus points. The main objective of Bejeweled involves attempting to swap two adjacent gems of seven colors (colored red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and white) to create a line or row of three or more gems, which disappear once lined up. The game was followed by several sequels and spin-offs, with the game being followed by a direct sequel in 2004. The game sold over 10 million copies and has been downloaded more than 150 million times. Originally starting out as a Java web browser game titled Diamond Mine, Bejeweled would later be developed into a retail title and was released for PCs on May 30, 2001, with the name Bejeweled Deluxe. The first game developed by PopCap under their current name, Bejeweled involves lining up three or more multi-colored gems to clear them from the game board, with chain reactions potentially following. Bejeweled (also referred as Bejeweled Deluxe in some releases) is a tile-matching puzzle video game by PopCap Games, developed initially for browsers in 2001. ![]()

![]() ![]() Why do the endermen attack you as you look them in the eye? It’s simple, it’s the one key thing remembered in the legends of your evil, your pale white eyes (The original skin had blue eyes but skins are customizable now, and many speculate he can shapeshift. Centuries pass and Herobrine awakens, he knows nothing of his past. Meanwhile, the builders begin the evolution process telling tales of Herobrine, the betrayer, the creator of the wither, and the necromancer. But it has a catch, his mind is wiped and he is thrown into a coma. After this, Herobrine succeeds, he slays the wither and creates a nether star using it to gain immortality. Forcing them underground, in their haste they make the warden, not only made to fight off a wither, but to attack humans too, preventing Herobrine from following. But then Herobrine does the final deed, the madman creates a wither. They are fighters who create iron golems in an effort to protect themselves from being infected. Someone who unwittingly created monstrosities in his quest for immortality, Herobrine! Think about it, he accidentally creates the zombie virus while experimenting on the dead, forcing the builders to get desperate, they are no longer explorers and pioneers. Maybe they were built to fend off someone else. ![]() Withers can fly and usually tend to go up rather than down. Why attack someone that vaguely resembles their ancient ancestors? I then continued to his episode on the warden, would this really be built to fight off a wither. It didn’t make that much sense to me, if the endermen were the human builders of old evolved to the point of complete transformation. Please read the whole post before commenting and leaving.) I started to think about it when Matt attempted an explanation as to why the enderman attacked players when looked in the eye.

Only four cards can be in the free cells at any given time. You can move any playable card to one of the four free cells.For example, a 5 will go below a 6, Queen below King, and so on. Below each black card will need to be a red one, and it needs to be one rank lower. On the other hand, if you have 7 Hearts and a 6 of Diamonds, you cannot move the 6 on top of the 7 because they are the same color. For example, a playable 3 of Hearts can be moved on top of a 4 of Spades that is at the bottom of another tableau column. In the tableau, you can move a card on top of another playable card as long as it is of the opposite color and of a higher rank.If an Ace is playable, you can move it immediately to the foundation.

I don’t know why the 2110 value is working, but it scales games properly. Xrandr -display :0.0 -output DVI-0 -scale-from 2110x224 So for now, I was able to resolve vertical overscan with this command line for most common home consoles : I did my own shaders and it looks genuine.īut it isn’t really as retro as an original CRT. ![]() I already use my Batocera system with a good LCD screen. I’m really sorry you finally gave up and horrified about your old CRT screen goes to the recycling center. Thank you for your feedback about your CRT experience. That´s how I can play the games today on Batocera (this is a demo of a non-“Lights Off” bezel, but it shows what I mean when I say that the combination of the right bezel and shader gives me great results). So I was stuck at this point and finally gave up after having seen this: On my consumer CRT, I did not have the option to scale the image horizontally and save several presets. My suggestion was to add the possibility to add an overscan border in RetroArch in case a core does not support, and this setting could have been saved as per-core setting, but I don´t know if we will ever see such a feature as long as there is not a bigger community interested in this. N64 cores), and you never know if it will ever be added. However, most of the cores don´t have such an option (I remember e.g. if you have a core that has a core option (!) like “enable borders” or “enable overscan”, you might get a perfect output on your CRT. The reason is that a lot of cores don´t emulate the overscan resolution/border of the original console. Nevertheless, the problem was that the image was not scaled correctly, like in your case, depending on the core. Unfortunately, I have only basic development skills, so I was not able to fix it myself.īut, the main reason: I also started a discussion at, admittedly with the wrong assumption at the beginning that you always have to scale an image to 768×576 (PAL) or 640×480 (NTSC) pixels. Then, there was this second obvious bug that alignment settings did not work, but also only few people obviously cared about. there is this bug that returns to the wrong resolution when leaving RetroArch: - I read several days ago that it might have been fixed. I wanted to get a perfect gaming console/home computer output (C64, Amiga, SNES, PSX etc.), but found several bugs that have not been solved (yet).Į.g. This had to do with unsolved black screen and crash problems with Batocera (driver issues?), but I also learned that there is apparently less interest in CRT output as long as it is not about arcade emulation and Sony PVM CRTs. RetroLust’s Lights Off Retroarch Bezels” in most of the cores and Fakelottes shader which suprisingly gives me a real retro feeling on PC, my Odroid-N2, a tablet/smartphone (then just with the “plain” RetroArch) etc. I have researched and played around several months (with a lot of breaks in-between of course), invested in a Radeon R9 280 card and a VGA-2-Scart adapter, but several months ago, I finally put my CRT to the recycling center :(.Įven though I know that my CRT gave a great picture with great colors, high contrast and by far less motion blur, I use a “normal” LCD now with “Mr. Unfortunately, my experience is… that I finally gave up. Is there a config file somewhere to do theses changes ? Or perhaps I misunderstanding something. Or the abilty to add/modify modelines into Retroarch. I tried with –transform but without success for now. In my opinion, the best way could be an XRANDR command line to resize the on screen displayed area of Retroarch. What’s your experience about that ? Did you find a convenient fix to auto-scale all your games for a same libretro core ? The game picture is out of scale, and uncentered. Then my scaling parameters are not valuable anymore for all different resolutions. But for a same hardware core, some games have different resolutions and can switch their resolution in game. I used Retroarch scale options to bypass this issue. This means left and right parts of the game are out of the screen area. However I get an issue I’m not able to bypass properly : Retroarch screensize isn’t rescaled at the TV screen size, and I get an horizontal overscan when using the 15.7 khz mode. ![]() ![]() I found some very interesting information in this tutorial to help me : Rendering is very clean with perfect scanlines. I can play video games into 15.7 Khz RGB signal as expected. I ordered a VGA (RGBHV) to Scart (RGBS) cable at Arcade Express in Spain to link my Radeon HD 4870 X2 to the CRT screen.
