Rating:</em> <font color=#ffff80 size="-1">(not yet rated)</font><p> <em>Description:</em> Pingus is a Lemmings-like game for Linux.<p> The Pingus class has been completely rewritten to make it easier to create new pingu types. The design isn't perfect, but better then before. Therefore most actions are gone and the pingus are no longer animated. They will be reimplemented in the next release. There are now an entrance and an exit (not working correct) in the level, both of them are not very well painted. There is now a simple script in the source dir, which makes it easier to run pingus called "run_pingus.sh" At the moment I am having some throuble to compile ClanLib, but this is AFAIK a misstake in my system include files, not ClanLibs fault, therefore I hadn't a chance to try to patch ClanLib. Next week I hope to get the new Debian 2.1 and fix my Linux installation, so that I am able again to compile ClanLib. | Pingus 0.0.8 | updated | |
