If I should resend you my preliminary stuff for race please tell me soon
(because I'm leaving for week end in some hours and do not have access
to my mailbox).  My trophy stuff which implements this can be found at
   http://auric.debian.org/~tille
... but I've seen you just found it and used the icons :).  I want to
add that I wanted to use a
    convert debian/trophy.xpm `pwd`/debian/trophy/usr/share/pixmaps/trophy.png
to have a png file in /usr/share/pixmaps which is more compact.  Unfortunately
the build stuff does not support binary diffs and so the image has to be
included as xpm in the source.

I personally do not care about music and I have to admit that I mostly
switch it off (by software or by just removing the power connector of
the speakers ;-).  But it was just an idea for those who might like it ...
It wouldn't be a real problem for me if there wouldn't be any sound.

So it is OK for me.  He is the real expert ;-).

Just announcing this new game at Debian-Junior (I would just care about
it , because I'm subscribed to the list).

Perhaps we build a further package junior-race?

Well than it would go this way:

      junior-race

      Depends: trophy, race
      Suggests: tuxracer      ## only suggets, because it needs 3D support
      Conflicts: race-sound   ## if there would really be a race-sound

Or something like that.  But as I said:  I would not really care for
the sound if you ask me.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
