BlingBling
BlingBling is a game. Specifically, it is a clone of the puzzle game Puyo Puyo (which itself was a competitor of Tetris). It's bitchin. It runs in Windows and Linux. I like it. You'll like it, too.News!

Download it
It comes in 2 flavors: Windows, and source code. The Windows self-installers were made using NSIS, my favorite installer generator.- Windows version: blingbling-1.1.exe. It requires a bunch of libraries, which you can conveniently download here (or you can let the installer download them for you). For some reason which I can't figure out, the Windows version is significantly slower than the Linux version. I'm blaming it on the GUI library I use, since when I remove the code to draw to the screen, much less CPU is wasted. If anyone has any clues, I'd love to hear from you.
