Quadrapassel is a derivative of a classic Russian falling-block game. Reposition and rotate the blocks as they fall, and attempt to fit them together. When you form a complete horizontal row of blocks, the row will disappear and you score points. The game is over when the blocks get stacked too high. As your score gets higher, you level up and the blocks fall faster.If you’re looking for a challenge, Quadrapassel allows you to increase the initial speed of the blocks, or begin the game with partial blocks on some of the rows. Or, instead of allowing the blocks to fall randomly, it can select blocks that will be hard for you to place.

Be careful: all tiles slide to their farthest possible positions, you cannot slide just one tile or one row or column. Tiles with the same value are joined when slided one over the other.With every new tile obtained you increase your score. If you think you can easily get the 2048 tile, do not let it stop you, the game does not end there, you can continue joining tiles and improving your score.Originally created by Gabriele Cirulli, 2048 has gained much popularity due to it being highly addictive. Cirulli's 2048 is in turn a clone of the 1024 game and includes ideas from other clones.

      Control a worm in its quest to eat bonuses and become longer. Outmaneuver
      enemy worms while eating apples and bananas to increase your length. Each
      worm has six lives and loses one by running into a wall, another worm, or
      itself. The enemy worms are after the same bonuses that you are, so be
      careful. If the worms become too large, you won’t have much room to move.
    
      
      The adventure progresses through 26 maps of increasing difficulty. The early
      levels are mostly open with a few walls, but later on, cramped spaces and
      teleporters make things more interesting.
    
      
      Play on your own against up to five enemy worms, or share your keyboard to
      play with a friend.

      Devhelp is a developer tool for browsing and searching API documentation.
      It provides an easy way to navigate through libraries and to search by
      function, struct, or macro.
    
      
      The documentation must be installed locally, so an internet connection is
      not needed to use Devhelp.
    
      
      Devhelp works natively with GTK-Doc, so the GTK and GNOME libraries are
      well supported. But other development platforms can be supported as well,
      as long as the API documentation is available in HTML and a *.devhelp2
      index file is generated.
    
      
      Devhelp integrates with other applications such as Glade, Builder or
      Anjuta, and plugins are available for different text editors (gedit, Vim,
      Emacs, Geany, …).
