Re: [opensuse-factory] Games on openSUSE 10.2 (forw)
Forgot to hit the right reply button again...
----- Forwarded message from Joerg Mayer
We need games. They're the ultimate argument for converting Jane and Joe to Linux ("see, you have Solitaire and a whole bunch more").
I'd suggest:
kdegames (board, puzzle, whatever there is) frozen-bubble xmoto chromium lbreakout penguins (the lemmings clone) some invaders or galaga clone that looks modern. Too bad there's no Chicken Invaders for Linux.
don't forget pysol. It seems it was dropped for 10.1

don't forget pysol. It seems it was dropped for 10.1
I think it's on the DVD. At least it's available in the internet installation sources. Regards, Bernhard -- "Software is like sex, it's better when it's free." -- Linus Torvalds

Indeed. This package still exists. The problem is that it's rather big for a Solitaire game (21 MB). kpat should be ok for the beginner.

How about splitting music and cardsets into separate packages?

Is Pysol really so much better than kpat?

You'll always find a person, which loves a special package. :-) Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)

My wife has to have Pysol. It is the first thing I download for her
computer. She has used kpat but prefers Pysol.

Well, it's still on our distribution. We are only talking about default installation. Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)

I buy a retail CD/DVD set, but I should have said, I did not see it on the
CD's and her machine can not read a DVD so I download/ftp the entire
distribution binary and source so I am able to install everything from it
on all my machines. That way stuff that is missing on the retail set is
available for me to use.
Thanks,

Ok. But I'm afraid that most of the games with such a size are missing on our CD set and it's very unlikely that this will change in the future.

Yes. It's complete. In the Windows world, there are lots of different downloadable solitaire games that are popular. For the people who have *that one game* they absolutely must have, Pysol has them covered. -- James Oakley jfunk@funktronics.ca --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

But IMHO this is no reason to add it to default installation. Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
