Hi,
I retired and decided to learn some computer languages. I wrote an Adventure game in C++ (mostly just C using SDL to handle the screen and sounds) in order to learn C. I expect to debug it by January then copyright it and give it a GPL3 license. I am not sure if anyone would like to play it, but I would like to figure that out, and if so, offer it to one or more distribution(s).
I like games. Do you have any screenshots or a description of the plot of the game? You say it is an adventure game does that mean it is an RPG.
I do not have a clue how to offer it to distributions (or what you/they might want). I currently run it on Debian, Mint and W*. I have zero interest in becoming a developer for the various distributions. Can someone please point me in the correct direction to get me started?
Do you have the source code published on a publicly available repo? If you want to have the game included in Debian you can use Debian Mentors mailing list to ask for assistance creating a salsa repo. If you want to have the game available for multiple distros then it would be benifficial to make either a Source Forge or GitHub repo. Are you interested in packaging the game yourself?
Thanks!,
Steven Peckham.
PS What I have now (for Linux) is, the c++ code, two compile scripts (one with debug, one without), and an install script (currently pointing to the opt folder). I do not have anything to put it into your structures currently, if you can tell me what you need ( or point me to a doc) I can come up with something. If you guys do that, just let me know, so I stop fussing about it.
*Note: W uses the same source, but requires a separate compile, and install scripts. I'll worry about windows if someone asks for it. SP
