Lunar Lander on Windows

April 22nd, 2009

I’ve updated Lunar Lander 0.5 so it works on Windows. You can get a zip file containing the binaries here. The updated source archive contains the MSVC9 project files if you want to build it yourself.

No installer yet since I built this with Visual Studio Express; if you desperately want an installer you can get the MSI for version 0.4.

Nothing new for non-Windows users except a minor version bump.
