| 2250 | Tux Racer | games | 1858 | Tux Racer | I try not to give a rating based on potential, but this game really deserves no less. Yes, it needs to be polished some more, but this game is very cool as it is too. It's fast (on my voodoo 3000) and fun. I certainly hope it got an A for the authors graphics class. <P> One criticism - The author needs to write documentation for the key strokes. I had to look though keyboard.c to get them. In case anyone is interested:<BR> <PRE> j left l right space break Numberkeypad 1, 2, 3: change view </PRE> If you have a voodoo board, this is a good game to try out! <P> It's in need of 'other stuff' like music, sound effects, opponents, perhaps network play. But this definitely has a LOT of potential and is playable as is. | 2000-03-17 18:24:50 | 0 |
| 2251 | Missile Command | games | -1 | Missile Command | This is a quality game. The end-result is 1 binary that is about 100k, it compiled fine for me, after getting all the SDL??-devel stuff. I don't have a sound card, so can't vouch for it there, but it plays very much like I remember in the arcade. | 2000-03-17 18:26:00 | 0 |
| 2252 | Quake 3 Arena | games | 1858 | Quake 3 Arena | I can sympathize with the people who think this game is too polished. In fact, it <I>is</I> a bit too slick. But who can fault it? <P> If you don't download it and play it, you're no gamer. That's for sure. <P> For people who complain about bad frame rates, do an lsmod and look for 3dfx.o. If it's not there, you need to find 3dfx.o using locate and then insmod 3dfx.o. <P> I do miss a storyline. Greatly. Deathmatch is cool, but the storyline makes the game more interesting. But there ain't no way in hell I'm giving this game anything less than 5 stars. | 2000-03-17 18:32:02 | 0 |
| 2253 | Missile Command | games | 3352 | Missile Command | Edit the Makefile, and on line 72ish are the options passed to install. Its fine to remove the -C <p> The "ERROR: unable to read images" is produced if it can't find the image data. Currently it looks for it in:<br> 1) A dir given on the command line.<br> 2) A dir set in the users<br> ~/.missilecommandrc settings file.<br> 3) The dir set at compile time.<br> 4) In a dir called "data" relative to where the program is executed from.<br> 5) In a dir called "data" in the current dir.<br> 6) The current dir.<br> <p> Since the installed failed, the data files wont have been copied to the dir set in the makefile.<br> You could either copy them by hand, or re-run "make install" after taking out the -C option, or run missile command with "missile --set-datadir=[wherever the datadir happens to be]" <p> I'll add more descriptive error messages, fix the Makefile, and add more info to the README in the next release (coming soon =). <p> Thanks for the feedback. <p> - Julian. | 2000-03-17 22:09:25 | 0 |

| 2255 | ClanLib Game SDK | games | -1 | ClanLib Game SDK | Although I have not been able to get this to work successfully, I do feel it's an exceptional start for easy development (once more documentation comes in). It is an good effort amoung the authors to create compatability across platforms and that work and effort should be recognized. However I do want to stress the need for more SDK's with interfaces designed from existing interfaces such as Xlib or Windows' native graphics code. This will allow portability for low-level programs written on those platforms. So far we don't have a single SDK for that situation. | 2000-03-18 00:11:09 | 0 |
| 2256 | XShipWars | games | -1 | XShipWars | Great Game! If you haven't tried it,what are you waiting for. The Terminus universe rules. http://xsw.terminator.net | 2000-03-18 10:23:27 | 0 |
| 2257 | Tux Racer | games | -1 | Tux Racer | I have Voodoo3 and the game is very slow, near 2 fps ... I've others 3D games and they work fast | 2000-03-18 11:32:19 | 0 |
| 2258 | Core Wars | games | -1 | Core Wars | Yes, it's a simulation; but i think it's more interesting than pong or thigns like that. It's suposed to be a scientific curiosity about early informatic's science. | 2000-03-18 14:55:22 | 0 |
| 2259 | Missile Command | games | -1 | Missile Command | Doesn't compile in my Alpha XL266 ,binary gives only "Segmentation Fault" ,hmm should we inspect the code... | 2000-03-19 04:37:14 | 0 |
