About

Cion is a late-1990s shareware brick-breaker for the Mac by Brendan Burns of Williams College, taking the Break-Out / Brickles / Arkanoid formula and adding gravity-driven ball physics, a freely-moving 2D paddle, and a sentient android companion named Fred who reacts emotionally to how well you play.GameplayThe ball obeys gravity, so the paddle is no longer locked to a single axis: you can move it in two dimensions to nudge, lift, and accelerate the ball through brick patterns that get progressively harder.Fred the AndroidFred is your on-screen companion. He has a small set of emotional states and watches your play, smiling when you do well, frowning when you fumble, and growing visibly impatient when he thinks you are not really trying.System RequirementsThe Info-Mac release notes list Mac OS 8.0 or later and roughly 10 MB of RAM as the baseline.DistributionCion shipped as version 1b through Info-Mac, with an enclosed About file and a project page at the author's Williams web space (http://wso.williams.edu/~bburns/tad/).
