Tilt sensor Level Editor Levels Download History

Mulg is a very simple maze game. The object is to guide a marble through various mazes. Along the way, you encounter stones blocking your passage, slippery ice, flipper bumpers, and more. As you complete each level you are allowed to proceed to the next; there are hundrets of levels to explore. It sounds easy, but the different obstacles in your path make for interesting strategy.

• mulg.prc: A four greyscale version for all greyscale palms (all Palms except the Palm  IIIc).
• g_mulg.prc: A sixteen greyscale version for all EZ/VZ CPU based greyscale palms (e.g. Palm IIIx, Palm IIIe, Palm IIIxe, Palm IIIc, Palm V, Palm Vx, all Visors and TRG Pro).
• c_mulg.prc: The color version for the Palm IIIc and Visor Prism.

Please install the appropriate executable on your palm together with at least one game database (mulg.pdb, mulg2.pdb or mulg3.pdb from the binary release or any of the third party game databases from the level page). If you are aready using an older version of Mulg, then just install the new version without removing the old version. This way all the level databases and hi-scores remain valid for the new version.

If some of the newer level databases don't show up in your mulg, then you might be using an outdated version of mulg that doesn't support some of the game elements used in these level databases. Please update to the latest Mulg version to solve this problem.

What about playing Mulg just by tilting the pilot? This is possible. All you need is a tilt sensor like the ADXL202 from analog devices. The sensor is calibrated every time you start a new level and you can guide the marble by tilting the pilot gently up, down, left or right. This is virtual reality!

This is a full featured level editor written by Ilan Tayary (Email: yonatanz at actcom.co.il). Since this editor is written in Java, it runs on plenty platforms (e.g. MS-Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS ...). In order to use this editor, you might want to take a look at Zonker Harris' excellent Mulg Tile Guide. The editor works with Mulg II level pdb's. It features a sophisticated GUI and a very intuitive way to make logical connections between the different game objects. Nearly all third party level sets were done with this editor and its predecessors. For further details visit the MulgEd homepage. News: MulgED is now open source, so you can add all the fancy features you always wanted to.

This editor never left the beta stage, although it looks very promising and already allows to create nice levels. This editor is written by Tom Smallwood, visit his E-Mulg homepage.

Version 1.1:

Fixed bug, which caused exception when 'dropping into space' in level 5.

Version 1.1b:

Fixed bug, which caused document in level 15 to be unreadable.

Version 1.1c:

System game sound preferences are used.

Version 1.1d:

Fixed tunneling into stones and hopefully some annoying greyscale problem.

Version II pre:

Pre-release of version II including:

• Support for adxl202 tilt sensor.
• Correct display when alarm/low battery warning goes off during game.
• Wrap when leaving game area.
• Lots of new tiles and levels.
• Database support and level compiler.

Version II:

Official release of mulg II.

Version IIa:

Fixed auto timeout when playing with tilt sensor.

Version IIb:

Switched off tilt sensor support for OS > 3.02 (to prevent Palm IIIx and Palm V from crash) and fixed little display bug.

Version IIc:

Game databases support for PalmOS3.1 now works with multiple games. Fixed some problem with low batt warnings, changed the sensor support to be disabled with EZ CPUs (patch from Goeff Richmond) and a little fix in greyscale memory handling. (the low batt stuff still has some problems which causes the screen sometimes to switch for a second or two to black'n white even when there is no real low batt warning displayed, i have seen other applications like the TinyViewer having the same problem but don't know a solution. I think this is better than to ignore the low batt warning at all like i did in prior versions)
