I know its not really the time of year for this. Anyway, I just released new versions of Sint Nicolaas and Zwarte Piet (originally named Sint '99 and Sint 2000), which I wrote while working for the university, a few years ago.

My main job there was to promote the computer science education in Nijmegen and their functional programming language "Clean" (for which I had written a game library), especially amongst potential students (I made CD-ROMs and sent them out to schools all over over the country).

Both games were very popular at the time (at least here in Holland). But after I left, no more CDs were sent out and they removed my websites and these games became pretty much forgotten... :(

So now I decided to make new versions, translate them into English and put them back on-line (now with complete source code). So here is the new site: http://sint.sourceforge.net/.

If you aren't familiar with functional programming, be sure to take a look at the source!

I like the game very much (I love platform games). The graphics and sounds are very well presented, also the levels are nice designed. I like the idea of the transition of the night/evening dark light to the day light in the morning.
