We will be fixing this soon. For right now, here is the current information on the Linux Client.<br><br>For those of us joining us late, the Linux client was not released with the Windows version. The Linux server was released shortly after the Windows version. As to why, the Mac and Linux versions of the game are being co-developed and our focus was on the Windows version for the June launch. Currently the Mac and Linux versions are in full development. The Mac version of the Toolset is being handled by MacSoft. You can find an update from Al Schilling from MacSoft <a href="http://nwn.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=117590&forum=42" target="_blank">here</a>.<br><br>What we can't give you right now:<br>- Linux client screenshots<br>- an exact completion date<br><br>All we can estimate is that screenshots will happen within a month and we expect the Linux Client to be available for download in Fall 2002.<br><br>What we can give you:<br>- an assurance that the Linux client will be released<br>- a web page for the Linux Client where all updates will take place<br><br>We expect the Linux Client page, with information, to be up within a week.<br> </i></blockquote> <p> Any guesses about what the definition of "Fall 2002" might be? | "shortly" >= one season | default | |

You can construct simple 2D wireframe models and let them react on gravity forces. <p> At the start of the game you can model your object, by pressing 'Space' you get into the forces-mode where your model will act on the forces, by press 'd' you get into slow-motion. Support to load and save is done via 's' and 'l', but might be buggy and uses stdin/stdout for reading the filename. The game currently hasn't a goal, but might still be fun. | Construo 0.0.2 | new | Construo |
