Welcome to GFX Studios Lab page. Here, you’ll find an array of different experimental programs made by me for testing and learning purposes.
Feel free to browse and download them. And please don’t hesitate to provide feedback. I’m also ready to provide code snippets and coding help upon request.
Games:
1 – Bejeweled Clone

This game was made using Delphi 7, in March/2008. It’s basically a clone of the infamous Bejeweled game, with Jewels replaced by symbols from the font “Webdings”! It’s a proof of concept, and it works great on most systems (tested on Windows XP, Vista, 7) with no additional components.
The game concept is easy: just drag the symbols using the mouse to make lines of 3 or more jewels. Watch out for the timer, if your time runs out the game is over. If you beat the timer you’ll advance to a new level and the timer will get faster. When you can’t find any more moves the game is over. Press “Reset” to start a new game.

2 – Mastermind Clone

This game was made in C# using MS Visual Studio 2005, in 2008. It was a training program in C# to try and create objects in real-time and print them on the screen as a bitmap. This game is a lot of fun, and could be really difficult at times. It’s a classic puzzle game relying purely on brain power and concentration.
To play the game just choose a difficulty, and start writing your guess, and hit the “Evaluate” button to get your results. The game ends when you’ve used all your guessing chances, or when you guessed the right number. The timer is there to see how fast you went to help you compete with your friends.
The game requires MS .NET Framework 2.0 to run properly (already included in Windows XP SP2 or higher).
