Terry Cavanagh, the author of VVVVVV, Super Hexagon and Dicey Dungeons, just released the source code for VVVVVV to celebrate it\u2019s 10th anniversary.  Released on GitHub<\/a> under a custom license<\/a>, the repository includes both the Mobile (Flash\/ActionScript) and Desktop (C++) versions.  It does not include the binary data however, although you can use the free<\/a> version or you can currently buy VVVVVV for 73% Off On Humble<\/a> right now.<\/p>\n

Details of the release from the DistractionWare blog<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Or possibly tomorrow is, depending on who you ask \u2013 technically, the game first went live at 3am GMT on the 11th January 2010, after a very, very long day of fixing every last bug I could, making last minute builds<\/a>, and trying to slowly upload everything on an extremely unreliable internet connection that kept cutting out. But I\u2019ve always gone by \u201cit\u2019s not tomorrow until you wake up<\/i>\u201d rules, so I still think of January the 10th as the real launch day <3<\/p>\n

Gosh, ten years.<\/p>\n

VVVVVV is such an important game to me, I barely even know where to start. I wanted to do something special to mark the occasion: so, as of today, I\u2019m releasing the game\u2019s source code!<\/p>\n

The repo contains two versions \u2013 the desktop version, ported to C++ by Simon Roth in 2011<\/a>, and later updated and maintained by Ethan Lee<\/a> \u2013 and the mobile version, written in Actionscript for Adobe AIR, based on the original v1.0 flash version of the game.<\/p>\n

I wanna give a big big thank you to Ethan Lee<\/a>, who helped a lot to prepare for this, including getting the repo ready for the public, and organising the reveal on AGDQ (hi speedrunners!)! Thanks Ethan!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You can learn more about the release in the video<\/a> below.<\/p>\n
