Dennis> http://identicalsoftware.com/inertiablast/ I pulled this down, and once I had installed all the sdl2 -dev libs on my Linux Mint 20 system it built just fine, nice and clean. Unfortunately, the full screen blocky graphics weren't as good, but more annoying was the constant flicker the screen as it was refreshing things. Maybe it needs to be a smaller window? I didn't bother to install it, I just ran it from the build dir, which was super nice to be able to do. Congrats on the update! John
