OpenJazz

As some of you know, I've been working on a re-implementation of the Jazz Jackrabbit 1 engine.

Development has been repeatedly put on hold because of university work. So I'm giving you a look at how it's going before I sink into the murky waters of academia again.

OpenJazz.exe
You'll also need SDL (Runtime Libraries -> Win32)

Bung the executable, along with sdl.dll, into your Jazz 1 directory, and run it from there. But first, there are four things I need to point out.
1. It needs quite a lot of love.
2. You can resize the window. If you think this feature is a cheat, then don't use it. the default size is 320x200.
3. Arrow keys to move, right alt to jump, spacebar to skip to the next level.
4. It crashes on Pezrox. Don't go to Pezrox. Stop at Dreempipes.

Soon I'll be cleaning up the code and releasing it open source - hence the name. Then anybody can work on it if I'm as overworked next semester. But chances are this will be sometime around Christmas.
