Your game seems fine but there’s one remark I really have to make; why are you
using a mapping technique for transparency (the black-white image and the
normal image, both with no transparency) when you’re using PNG’s? PNG’s have
built-in alpha channels, so why use another image to map the black out of the
PNG?
I’m not sure if this is what you’re doing, but if it is, it’s kind of useless
and resource-absorbing for no reason.
there is still a degree of bork in the system but the graphics engine
creates unique graphics for each piece
the background is just some madness i put on for pretty effect, dirty and
cheap.

He just needs to make sure that his hard-coded file names are the right case
(Linux is case-sensitive), then we can use Wine.

? runs on my wine
oh, and i not releasing aouce until i am finished playing with it
i thought about using the sdl circle function after i posted
i would like a circle area so i can make wheels appear going round and
things even if they are in the middle of a surface…
the method i suggest above i wouldnt expect to attempt in real time, i would
create the graphics before the game starts.

It seems to run fine on Win XP pro sp3 AMD 32 bit cpu Nvidia gforce4.
There was not any audio, just in case there was supposed to be.
Please don’t reprogram the universe. We’re still debugging the old one.

Not meaning to push you around or anything, just a coincidence as we
discussed this to some length at yesterday’s FreeHackers Union meeting
in Montreal. More specifically, we discussed how a centralized VCS
like Subversion is visible to everyone, which is good, but that people
then stayed away, because it’s what people do, and how DVCSes like Git
or Mercurial enable people to their work while “hiding in a cave”, but
that at least when they pushed you could see the evolution of it and
do code reviews in a manageable way…
Overall, of course, I’d rather see code later than not at all, but the
earlier the better. :-)On Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 5:02 PM, Neil White wrote:

Oh, I certainly agree (although we’ve done without them for quite some
time before!). We were mostly against the “programmers working in
caves” rather than the tools that enable them or not, for sure.
Something like GitHub, for example, is quite awesome! In particular,
how you can find out who forked and more or less merge their changes
in without having to wait for them to send you the patch. Again,
trying to pull people out of their caves and see their code “before
it’s ready”.On Sun, Dec 14, 2008 at 12:07 PM, Donny Viszneki <donny.viszneki at gmail.com> wrote:

well i have a debian binary, when it comes to releasing for linux with non
sauce i’m not sure to do the whole static linked libraries, or just wuss out
and only have downloads for major dists, ie debian/ubuntu redhat/fedora and
whatever else, dunno, it’s a bloody nightmare deciding how to distribute
sort store etc linux stuff as in where to store high scores data exe files
and all that jazz.

You can do both (although you are legally compelled release
dynamically linked binaries, not to the exclusion of statically linked
binaries, if you are using SDL under the LGPL license.)
it’s a bloody nightmare deciding how to distribute
sort store etc linux stuff as in where to store high scores data exe files

High scores belong on the internet.
There’s a few ways to go about simplifying all this. Don’t worry about
it so terribly much, the world wouldn’t end if your game didn’t
install like everything else does on a system. Perhaps you could
include a means of specifying those locations to the program. It’s
pretty fair to say that /etc means the same thing on every GNU/Linux
system, so just put a config file in there and that will tell your
program where to find everything else.
You might also simplify your entire build and distribution toolchain
by using OpenLINA, but I’m not sure if they support audio yet.

I could be missing the point, but my impression from looking at the
rather vague “technical” secion of the site is this:
This seems to be something rather different from actual portability,
namely a way of running native Linux applications
anywhere. “Installer with integrated VM/emulator”, if you like.
That said, it should work, theoretically, but it’s probably not what
you want for a game, and especially not a small downloadable one.
(Linux kernel and stuff included in the install image…)
