An application version for command-line launch also exists and is more compatible.


Astro Solutions Xpoint MAGNET Applet
2.9.2023

Xpoint MAGNET is a version of Xpoint for one and two players. The magnetic moving objects run from the upper side of the gamefield to the lower side and back. The speed to the left side and to the right side is controlled with the left and right cursor keys (player one) and y and x (player two). If you apply the keymapforus.ini keyboard mapping in the dialog displayed after the start of the game, player two can use the keys z and x. RETURN can be used to restart the game and ESC can be used to restart the game with an other number of players. A magnet, which runs towards the player, exists for every player. You can collect points and flags with the magnets. The magnetic objects, which move faster than the magnets, mustn't crash into holes or pirate stones. A level is completed after all flags are collected. There are eleven levels. Points, flags, stones, pirate stones and holes are used in these levels. The first level also demonstrates some additional objects, but they are not used in the levels.

This game is thread-safe. The applet is compatible to JAVA 1.1.8, MSJVM and JAVA 1.8 and uses a deprecated JAVA API.
