Bug#677821: ITP: wordwarvi -- A retro-styled side-scrolling shoot'em up arcade game
Hi Steve,
Actually, I filed an *Intend* to package bug. Fortunately, I'm a Debian
Developer with upload privileges -- so, I can make this a reality :)
Just wanted to say thanks for creating the game and releasing it on such
friendly terms. I've been looking for a nice action game and ran into it
when i was doing research on force-feedback under Linux. It was very
straightforward to package as well so I've just uploaded it to the
archive. It will probably take a little time until it makes it in, but
you should see it soon (definitely in time for the wheezy release). Also,
I believe this will get it into Ubuntu as well, after a fashion.
If you're interested, I have a couple of minor patches that I made which
would be of general use. Let me know...
Thanks again,
--Joe
