I was digging through some old Zip disks one day when I found a bunch of old games that I hadn't played in years. One of those games was a game called Columns, a game to which I had been addicted for quite some time during high school. I quickly got myself re-addicted, but while working in MacOS X, I soon grew tired of having to fire up Classic or reboot whenever I wanted to play a game. So, I decided to write my own version, updated for the new millenium. It runs natively on MacOS X, written completely in Cocoa, and features some very lickable graphics. (yum!)

What's New:
selecting new game will now bring the game window to the front
added option to start game at higher level
high score name is now saved between games
added option to set the number of entries in the high score list
added Applescript support. You can now write scripts to play the game for you! Why, you ask? Why not!
tweaked the graphics so that the background stripes no longer line up incorrectly
added French and Japanese localizations.
