Freegemas is an open source version of the well known Bejeweled, for GNU/Linux and Windows. It's written in C++ and it uses Gosu as the graphic API.

NEWS

Freegemas is now part of Guadalinex, a Ubuntu-based operating system promoted by the government of Andalusia (Spain) used in schools, and other public spaces. If you happen to use Guadalinex, you can install Freegemas using

sudo apt-get install freegemas

Amazing! Special thanks go to Álvaro Pinel and Alfonso De Cala for their quick response and support building the package.

Windows users

There are packaged downloads for Windows, so no compilation is needed.
