JSWED v2.0.3

JSWED is a PC-hosted Jet Set Willy editor. It supports 48k and 128k versions of Jet Set Willy, and the 48k version of Henry's Hoard.

Versions of JSWED exist for Win32 (Windows 95/98/ME, NT/2000) and for Linux with SDL. The Linux version is known to compile on BeOS, and should also compile on FreeBSD and maybe even Solaris.

JSWED is Free Software, released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (sic).

Windows programs and source (1463k)
Source only for Linux and other platforms (297k)

Note that if you redistribute the Windows files, you must include the source files in the distribution.

This version of JSWED does not come with sample data. It should be able to import .TAP files of any JSW128 game, and .SNA files of nearly all JSW48 games.

Change history

2.0.3: Bug fix: Can change the fixed text on the title screen of JSW128 games.
2.0.2: Bug fix: The Windows version now deletes temporary files created by use of the F5 key to playtest.
2.0.1: Minor changes in the source to make it compile on BeOS.
2.0.1: Able to fix the Henry's Hoard victory sequence, so that the 1985 version becomes winnable.
2.0.1: Henry's Hoard objects now show in the correct colour (the room border colour).

The Competition (PC hosted)

The old version of JSWED, version 1.0.7 (130k). This is inferior to JSWED 2.0.0 in just about every way, but it does have very low system requirements - 256k and any video adaptor, even an MDA!
jclop by Geoff Eddy. Runs on the Linux console with svgalib. This is probably a better editor for earlier Geoff Mode games, but (in my biased opinion) not for any other type of JSW game.
