Here’s Luca’s attempt at remaking the classic 1984 arcade game Marble Madness by Atari.

The graphics are slightly enhanced to bring them on par with modern standards: there is now a full 3D mode in addition to the usual isometric perspective one, a pastel drawing rendering mode and various camera placement options.

The 3D engine is based on OpenGL, SDL takes care of the interaction with the OS and FMOD is used for sound. This means the game is as multi platform as possible, and non windows builds should be fairly straightforward.

The whole 6 level world is present. It’s free and nag-free, and comes with an installer.

On the surface, Google designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn’t the browser that matters. It’s only a tool to run the important stuff – the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go.

Main Features:

One Box for Everything
Web search. Web history. Address bar. Suggestions as you type. One unified box serves all your browsing needs.

New Tab Page
Every time you open a new tab, you’ll see a visual sampling of your most visited sites, most used search engines, and recently bookmarked pages and closed tabs.

Application Shortcuts
Use web apps without opening your browser. Application shortcuts can directly load your favorite online apps.

Dynamic Tabs
You can drag tabs out of the browser to create new windows, gather multiple tabs into one window or arrange your tabs however you wish — quickly and easily.

Crash Control
Every tab you’re using is run independently in the browser, so if one app crashes it won’t take anything else down.

Incognito Mode
Don’t want pages you visit to show up in your web history? Choose incognito mode for private browsing.

Safe Browsing, Instant Bookmarks, Import Settings, Simpler Downloads

Review by PC World:

Chrome’s design bridges the gap between desktop and so-called “cloud computing.” At the touch of a button, Chrome lets you make a desktop, Start menu, or Quick Launch shortcut to any Web page or Web application, blurring the line between what’s online and what’s inside your PC. For example, I created a desktop shortcut for Google Maps. When you create a shortcut for a Web application, Chrome strips away all of the toolbars and tabs from the window, leaving you with something that feels much more like a desktop application than like a Web application or page.
