• fixed crash on game exit
• fixed problem where when in windowed mode the game window was not centered
• fixed - changing sound/music volume on fullscreen was almost impossible because of the fast gfx rendering. Now the volume changes on mouse button released
• fixed the F4 key to start/stop in-game music
• fixed one of the background available was not being selected from the random map selector
• changed - To prevent problems on Linux systems the game will start in windowed mode by default. Use F11 when playing to toggle fullscreen mode or start the game with a command line parameter '-force-fullscreen'. NOTE: Fullscreen may crash your Linux desktop. So, far problems where detected only on KDE.
• changed - the game will now always try to go for hardware surface for better performance. If you want to run with software surfaces use the '-sw' command line parameter.
• added support for Linux systems. The game can now be compiled and run on Linux.
• added - escape key now exists the game when in main menu
• updated Readme html document (English version only). Check the document for more Q&A info.
