GCN Scalar – Type A
+ About +
GCN Scalar is my own personal fork of a game program called “Scalar”.
“GCN Scalar – Type A is a puzzle game where an image file is divided up into pieces which are then shuffled and the player has to reassemble the image by rearranging the shuffled pieces.
GCN Scalar – Type A is a fork from version 1.02 of “Scalar” by Milan Babuskov.
Version 1.02 of “Scalar” was obtained from the program’s project repository hosted at the web-based project hosting service provider SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/ at the time of writing).
The “Type A” designation in this case means that this fork shall use the same flat two dimensional graphical interface as the original “Scalar” program.
The purpose of the “GCN” prefix is to help distinguish it from the original program and other possible versions/forks.
+ Implementations +
Implementations are forks of GCN Scalar – Type A. The idea behind this scheme is to provide flexibility to attempt to “implement” the same general concept using different development methods.
The implementations that have currently been released are as follows:
| Implementation | Target platform(s) | Development method |
| Imp00001 | Microsoft Windows on 32bit x86 compatible systems. | C and/or C++ programming languages along with the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) 1.2.X API. |
