First shared here as always, enjoy!

This is something I have been working on for a while. I can't take full credit, the original code for this clone is from 2000, then it was worked on a few years after that by others. The code was a mess!

I gave it a a huge refactor and clean up code-wise, then added loads of stuff to make it more faithful to the real game: new graphics, character select, new blocks, multiplayer...

There are many bugs, it is far from perfect. The code still needs more tidying up, the work is not finished at all.
I'd love for others to contribute.

Thanks

This is amazing work @cearp thank you so much for all the effort you've put into this homebrew.
is this to be considered as final release? it would so cool if you kept expanding this.
thank you, you are very welcome!
this is not a final release at all! it needs a lot more work and polish. there's that saying like 'the last 20% takes 80% of the time'...
