I've gone and added more to the Tempest game from a couple years back.
(New levels, level sets, built in editor, rotation effect and many more things.)

I've added a Classic Arcade Icons level set - available on same page.

That's looking great. What does Jeff Minter say to it? Isn't the "Tempest" Game concept copyright protected, like Tetris for example?

I don't believe Jeff Minter has anything to say about Tempest since it's owned by Atari (if I'm correct).

I still need to take a good look at the Tempest source to figure out how it's done. Tempest 2000 was a great game.

Dave Theurer created the original Tempest game back in 1980/81.
Yak/Jeff Minter did Tempest 2000 for the Jaguar and Tempest 3000 for the Nuon.

I think he'd say it's just a clone - doesn't add much to the game.

@Gfk: I meant legally. I'm sure Jeff still loves Tempest (hence he did Space Giraffe which is quite a lot like Tempest).

Nice remake. Very like the original.

Thanks for including the source as well. Only took a few minutes to make it work on the mac.
