About
Zuma is a 2003 tile-matching puzzle game developed and published by PopCap Games, released on PDAs, mobile phones, and the iPod. Zuma-Deluxe-HD is a remake of the 2003 PopCap game with improved textures and 16:9 widescreen support. Its stable, playable release is v0.1.0; a v2.0.0 rewrite with a new custom "HQC Framework" engine, its own ECS, and reworked chain-movement physics is in progress but not yet playable.
How it differs from the original
It adds HD textures and 16:9 widescreen support the original 4:3 release didn't have; the source code is MIT-licensed, but the original game's assets remain the property of PopCap and EA and aren't included.
Getting started
For a playable build, use the older stable v0.1.0 release rather than the in-development rewrite; it can be built via CMake or a direct compiler command. The newer, in-progress rebuild is not currently playable.
History
The project is being reworked toward a v2.0.0 release built around a new internal "HQC Framework" engine, its own ECS, and more accurate chain-movement physics, developed by the author in free time between university coursework.
Known limitations
- development: Version 2.0.0 is under development and is not yet playable; version 0.1.0 is the stable release.
