Releases: RedTopper/Super-Haxagon
TI-Nspire release
Super Haxagon 3.4.0
About this build:
Most systems haven't significantly changed across platforms. All have been tested on hardware. This is primarily a release for the TI-Nspire but I'll upload new builds here to keep them up to date.
As for the TI-Nspire build the credits and beatmaps are not currently working.

A summary:
I've finally come back to what started my programming adventure. A simple app for a calculator. In 2013 I released the program "Super Hexaspire" as an alpha. At the time I had no idea that programming would turn into a career.
So here we are today, porting a game around to so many different platforms. Starting with the Nspire, moving to the 3DS, then to PC, then to the Switch, and finally back to the Nspire. Super Haxagon has been quite a project over the years and taught me many things about technology, and for that I am grateful.
Timeline:
2013: TI-Nspire version Alpha
2016: 3DS version 1
2017: 3DS version 2 (Complete Rewrite)
2020: 3DS version 3 (Complete Rewrite)
2020: Windows and Linux release
2020: Nintendo Switch release
2021: TI-Nspire release
Thanks for playing!

Notes
Some levels have been edited since the last version to (hopefully) be more enjoyable. If you find levels way too easy or hard, please let me know. I've been the only one developing this and have no sense as to what's challenging or not.
Additionally, feel free to check out the level editor at Haxa-Editor. There's a wiki that documents how to use it. External levels are supported by dropping the levels.haxagon in the sdmc folder. They'll load on the home menu after (or, technically, also before) the builtin levels.

- Switch: "sdmc:/switch/SuperHaxagon"
- Windows/Linux: "./sdmc"

Switch Build
Note: While this version is not a "Pre-Release", it is not the final build of 3.0, so expect more updates!
The game now includes a metadata track for effects such as spinning, swapping colors, and pulsing.
This release also includes a Switch NRO for the Switch homebrew launcher.
Super Haxagon
Note: While this version is not a "Pre-Release", it is not the final build of 3.0, so expect updates soon!
Completely re-wrote the game in C++. Includes OGG decoder and all music + SFX inside of both CIA and 3dsx, so there is only one version from this point on.
There, in theory, is no difference between the MSVC and MinGW versions, but the MSVC version is "more native" to windows.
Enjoy!
