Quadra for Windows

Primary Language: C++
Created:
Updated:
An addictive action puzzle game with single player and multiplayer capabilities (Internet or LAN). This is the fork that maintains a working Windows version.

Releases

Quadra 1.3.0 for Windows

This is the game Quadra by Ludus Design compiled for Windows.

There are two versions included:
- quadra.exe - The original game.
- quadra-wild.exe - The original game with my three patches:
- Centiseconds - In sprint mode, the clock will have a resolution of 0.01 seconds.
- Floating next pieces - The next pieces float above your shadow when enabled.
- No pause in multiplayer - You can no longer pause multiplayer games, and servers running this version will not allow their clients to pause the game either.

To install, unzip to a directory of your choosing, and run the Quadra version you wish.

So That Bird Hell Site refugees seem to be divided between here and Cohost. Seems the more technically inclined end up here. Why is beyond me, this site doesn't take any special technical skills to use.

In addition to following Twitter (for now), I feel like I'm going to eventually have to make a decision to either follow both sites, or abandon those that moved to Cohost in favor of brevity and sanity. It's not a decision I will make lightly.

The value proposition for Mastodon, as a Twitter replacement, has flipped since the last time I tried it:

Mastodon: you might pick the wrong server and have to move away from it
