# Fun Columns SDL
## Description:
The aim of this project is to implement the original Free Tools Association (FTA) version of their Fun Columns game in SDL.
For those who may not have heard of the Free Tools Association (FTA) and their influence within the Apple IIGS community many
decades ago, a [website](http://www.freetoolsassociation.com/) is still maintained by Olivier Goguel (one of the original members of the group).
<b>Please Note:</b> This game is not in a playable state yet, you can compile and run though.
## Change-log:
* 04/05/2024 - Foundation code
## Compilation
* Make sure to install SDL-development and SDL-Image-Development libraries
* Type the following command and push enter:
`make`

## Todo
* Still a Work In Progress
* Cluster detection research routine (in progress - almost done)
* Hi scores routine
* Points allocation routine
* No more moves / game over routine
* Block detection / removal / realignment

* Intro page / music
* Game play music / sound fx
* There may be more that I have missed above
