| 8116 | KartingRace | games | -1 | Source is NOT available | People who believed the matrix above should know the following: <ol> <li> The download offered on the homepage does not provide source code; <li> To get source code, you have to send the author $25 for a CD. Buying a CD of the game itself, for comparison, is $10. <li> The license appears to be "all rights reserved but free to use". </ol> In short: this is not free software, it's not even Open Source, and I don't think the author even wants people looking at the code. <p> Daniel | 2003-01-09 05:15:21 | 0 |

| 8118 | KartingRace | games | 3 | Re: Source is NOT available | <i>People who believed the matrix above should know the following:</i><p> What's wrong with "the matrix above"? It says <br><i>"License: unknown ($0 (Sourcecode on CD for $25))" </i><p> The source <i>is</i> available. It might not be in distributed the way you would prefer, but that's not really the point, is it? | 2003-01-09 05:53:25 | 8116 |
| 8119 | Raze | games | -1 | Raze | Wow, this is pretty damn cool.. Too bad the source isn't available, because i'd like to see how they did all that. :) KIRT | 2003-01-09 05:59:12 | 0 |
| 8120 | KartingRace | games | -1 | Re: Looks cool | exactly ... which others ? i mean there are no other multiplateforme lib as powerful as fmod for 3D sound at least! | 2003-01-09 06:10:06 | 8115 |
| 8121 | libgli | games | -1 | Re: This is great ! | :) you know i've looked a lot around the net for such a lib (GUI, GLGooey...) but they are all crap in the way the all depends on glut !!!! it's reaaly the mess to get them working with something else like GLFW, SDL or ClanLib... but yours is independant of those libs :) well done | 2003-01-09 06:13:15 | 8117 |
| 8122 | KartingRace | games | -1 | Re: Source is NOT available | Two points: <ol> <li> When I first read the description, it did not mention the source being available on CD for $25. Maybe that changed before I posted -- I didn't think to check. I'm glad to see it has been corrected. <li> For most games on this site, "source available" means "source available under a standard free software license". I thought I should clarify the obvious assumption. (particularly because of the above fact) </ol> Daniel | 2003-01-09 06:42:12 | 8118 |
| 8123 | Freedroid RPG | games | -1 | Additional dependency | It seems to need SDL_net as well.<p> --<br> checking for SDLNet_Init in -lSDL_net... no<br> configure: error: SDL_net library needed for Freedroid!<br> see http://www.libsdl.org/<br> -- | 2003-01-09 07:43:21 | 0 |
| 8124 | KartingRace | games | 6900 | Controls | Oh wow this game is difficult to control. The mouse is impossible because there's no way to centre it, the keyboard is impossible because it's either centered or hard-left or hard-right, which is really really quick turning. I imagine my gamepad would be the same as it's digital. | 2003-01-09 07:50:08 | 0 |
| 8125 | Freedroid RPG | games | 6077 | Re: Additional dependency | That's right. I just didn't write it cause there is no specific version requirement. Maybe that was a bit stupid. Also in order to use the mouse wheel, I think SDL>=1.2.4 or so is needed, but that really is optional. I'll write the requirements in more detail the next time I submitt an update. | 2003-01-09 08:06:54 | 8123 |
