[http://rapidshare.com/files/220314546/MeggyJr_Begemmed.zip Begemmed] - Not feature-complete yet: there's no sound, it doesn't prevent illegal moves, and it doesn't check to see when there are no moves left and the game's over. But it is playable, so I thought I'd throw it out there for people to play with.

==Alternative Driver Library for Game Development==

There is an [http://luckyresistor.me/2014/11/13/a-new-library-for-meggy-jr-rgb/ alternative driver library] ([https://github.com/LuckyResistor/LRMeggyJr GitHub Page]) for v1.3 of MeggyJr RGB. This driver has the following features:
* Minimal SRAM usage.
* Display double buffering (no flickering even for slow drawing code).
* Selectable application frame rate (15, 30, 60 or 120 FPS).
* Loop to display synchronization.
* Simple RGB color handling with Color class.
* Advanced functions like scrolling and fading and sprites.
* Comfortable button handling.
* Interrupt based sound player, with notes and effects.
* Load meter to graphically measure your loop performance or RAM usage.

The library comes with a short documentation overview and has in detail API documentation in the code. It comes with a number of examples to demonstrate most of the features. The game [http://luckyresistor.me/2014/12/17/lucky-world-a-jumpnrun-game-for-meggyjr-rgb/ Lucky World] demonstrates all features of this library. It is open source (GPL v2), therefor you are invited to study every detail how the game was made.
