ANNOUNCE: *Kobo 0.1 released!

The port of the incredibly addictive game “XKobo” to SDL is almost
finished, and fully playable! Screenshots, info and download at:

http://olofson.net/skobo/

The download is a source tarball (autoconf/automake), and requires SDL
1.2.0+ and SDL_image.

This version still requires OSS and some unix calls for user management,
so you’ll have to comment some code out (at the very least) to build it
on non-Un*x platforms. (I’ll deal with it soon; I just finished porting
the game to the Project Spitfire graphics engine yesterday.)

No CPU or endian dependencies (so it should run on most Unices on any
CPU, as did XKobo), I think, but I might have done something silly in my
code in the hurry. :slight_smile:

(Sorry to be offtopic, but…)

How many people still use Netscape 4, even on Linux, at this point?

Surely Konqueror or Mozilla or Galeon or whatnot are better
alternatives…?

(Mozilla long since fixed the PNG rendering problem, btw.)

(Sorry to perpetuate the offtopic :wink:

Actually, for some SSL things (SourceForge’s file releases come to mind), the
only thing that works is Netscape 4 (IE still has many problems in this area
as well). Continuing the SourceForge example, Konqueror works fine for
everything but this file release issue… things like this will likely be
fixed sooner or later…

Personally, I use Konqueror for 99% of web-browsing, and pull out Netscape
for the obscure oddity that doesn’t work correctly otherwise…On Monday 10 September 2001 4:37pm, Ryan C. Gordon wrote:

Just to continue the off-topic theme…

Does anyone know any good method of invoking the users ‘preferred’ web
browser programatically under Linux?

I think Gnome has a function that would do this (using mime type associations
maybe?) - I assume KDE does too. I had a look through the Loki Setup program
and it seems to use an adhoc method of checking for various browsers in the
$PATH.

Has anyone got some code, or a good method that should work on most Linux
setups?

Thanks,

No you don’t. Ben, Ryan & co, you know better than this

So do I - that’s why I didn’t find out until I decided to test the site
with NS, just in case. :slight_smile:

I’ve had bad experiences with NS 6.x and Mozilla so far (plenty of java
and javascript crashes and that sort of stuff) - and Konqueror is
lightning fast and works great most of the time. I dig out NS 4.75 when
something refses to work in Konqueror.

Yeah, gcc 2.96 and on seems to be more liberal about scope and variables
inside switches, which is why my crappy hack slipped though. :slight_smile:

Fixed in skobo-0.2.
