Breakthrough is a strategy game where the objective is to move one of your pawns to the far side of the board before your opponent can.
I wrote this ShoesFest, it’s based on my vying library which supports a number of other games. This library is the foundation of Vying Games.
You can read about Breakthrough at Vying Games if you’d like to learn more.

Okay, after a little bit of testing, this works great on Linux against the latest Shoes.
It gets hung loading gems in Windows.
And, I couldn’t get Shoes to run at all on osx, powerpc. But, from what I understand it doesn’t work there either.
I’m guessing we’ll have to wait for newer Shoes…
I just updated to the newest mac build and it now gets hung loading gems (intel, tiger) so at least that was better than before :)
I could get Breakthrough 0.5.1 to load gems on Windows Vista. But, the game isn’t being redrawn correctly. Hitting ALT-D (redraws the board) shows that the app is working otherwise, though.
Nice game!
Worked fine on Ubuntu 8.04 after I deactivated compiz+emerald.
With those activated, it crashed:

Afraid I have no clue about that compiz/emerald crash…
of other games. This library.
I cant open the .shy in osx. I tried the source from your github but no luck either :|
