From: Paulo Silva <nitrofurano@gmail.com> To: Pkg-games-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2008 12:58:51 +0000 Message-ID: <9b711ec60801020458x3bb738dcx17b122620ddaf02c@mail.gmail.com> Sender: pkg-games-devel-bounces+cyril.brulebois=enst-bretagne.fr@lists.alioth.debian.org hi! i found lots of open-source SDL games, but from people made these games on ms-windows instead of Linux (that Konami's F1-Spirit remake is an example, i think easily to find from google ) I found also some games from htpp://games.linux.org I also have difficulties to compile a game and contribute with the Debian and Ubuntu repositories - would be nice if packagers could develop step-by-step packaging tutorials with screenshots, and/or videos at youtube (from recordmydesktop tools and alike) explaining how a newbie can make .deb packages and contributing on the repositories without further difficulties - this can be interesting for people got these initial dificulties and surelly not wanting other newbies having to loose too many time and effort to reach this contribution level Packagers also, please let us know about wiki pages of projects (games or not) which are still not in the Debian/Ubuntu repositories, and which help us to know which games are packaged, in the package process, and didn't start the package process. What i think can be interesting for SDL game developers, specially newbies, is a interpreter i were personally involved since 4 years ago, named sdlBasic - some aspects of it are similar to Amos (AmigaOS), it's lots easier to code there than on other interpreters like Python-Pygame, and surelly the packaging process of sdlBasic can contribute with a good ammount of good SDL games in the Debian/Ubuntu repositories. As far packages here may get interested on packaging and repositoring sdlBasic, please let me know. regards, Paulo ----- End forwarded message -----
