Free Fallin' Fred is now version 0.1.0
Free Fallin' Fred is a very simple clicking game. You see the airplane going across the screen and after a while, Fred jumps. You click on Fred to open his chute. If you fail to open the chute in time, poor Fred will be dead. Don't let Fred die.
I used SDL_ttf to allow Fred to work with fonts. The startup screen and endgame screen have been reworked. I also added a help screen and a credits screen. The scoring system now works like a normal arcade scoring system and shows up on screen during gameplay. I also switched from using regular Makefiles to using autoconf and automake for installations.

Todo
I plan to show him landing safely when you open the chute and show him smashing into the ground when you fail to open his chute. I would also like to add sound, but unfortunately, I do not yet have any sounds. So if you can make them, let me know: stech@enormousplow.com

Fred wants new graphics
Fred could use some better looking graphics, so if you are a graphics person, please help Fred out. The graphics for Free Fallin' Fred are all located in the data directory. image.dat contains the images used during gameplay. You can change them by simply editing the file image.dat For example, to use a different airplane graphic, just replace

plane.png plane

with

yourImage.png plane

where yourImage.png is the name of your graphic.
