10302 Hellcarrier games -1 Re: Licensing? you can't. this is a violation of the gpl. 2003-04-14 06:45:51 10291
10303 Hellcarrier games -1 Hellcarrier I finally got it to compile...<br> Here's some help to find those strange liberaries: <p> I was not able to get DIME to compile on my system, and used <a href="http://admine.sf">ADIME</a> instead (same lib, but they had to change name due to some other program) One thing to notice through is that you need to change "dialogf" to "adime_dialogf" and "ALIGN_CENTER" to "ADIME_ALIGN_CENTER" to get it compile with ADIME <p> There is no lib called GJMod. It must be a typo. The actual lib is <a href="http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/8890/jgmod/jgmod.html">JGMod</a>. 2003-04-14 07:02:06 0
10304 TuxMathScrabble games -1 TuxMathScrabble This screen shot is of the old version! The new version has a new, cleaner, more modern look. Also, the window size has been reduced to 800x600 as suggested in the previous comment. 2003-04-14 07:44:40 0
10305 Euchre games -1 Nifty! Me and my friends played Euchre a _TON_ a couple semesters ago. Does this version support any of the following "house rules" we used to play with? <BR> <BR>1. Cheating is allowed if no one calls it on you <BR>2. Drink a shot of liquor if you lose a round <BR>3. Hidden table talk? <BR> <BR>-Erwos 2003-04-14 09:20:26 0
10306 Zinc games -1 Nice I can see this being a lot of fun to play with. <P>Actually, I could see it being more useful for MUDs. Add the collaborative environment, but subtract the "everyone plays on the same client" part, and you could have a very useful tool for organized groups of adventurers. <P>-Erwos 2003-04-14 09:26:45 0
10307 Hellcarrier games -1 Re: Licensing? This is not a violation of the gpl. The author can release his software under any license he wants. He just happens to not be releasing it under the gpl.<br> <br> He should not say that he is releasing it under the gpl when he is not though.<br> <br> He is basicly saying, "The game is gpl, EXCEPT I am adding that you cannot use it commercially." It's not the gpl anymore, but it's his right to license the game under any way he wants. 2003-04-14 09:34:22 10302
10308 Abe's Amazing Adventure!! games 7139 Re: Too fast That's sort of what I did. For fast machines the fps has an upper limit and on slow machines the character takes bigger steps. (It does seem to work.) Thanks for your help! 2003-04-14 09:38:36 10293
10309 Racer games 7726 dirt bags.... Ruud. I really like this game, and personally, I have no issue with it remaining non-GPL'd. While I support the idea of releasing the game as open source, I don't think it is necassary. I think what most Linuxers to realize is that when they attack developers, demanding that their high quality works be made free, they destroy the market for such products. I f you took this product to a publishing house, and people started seeing it on shelves in stores, they would buy it. And you would be a rich man. consider 2 things. 1) you have three native ports for the 3 most popular desktop Operating systems. 2) their is a huge following to your game already. I don't find wanting to payed for hard work greedy. Unless the price is excessive. e.g. no version of windows is worth 200-300 dollars, it's simply not good enough for that price. hence the reason why I use linux. But I will pay for a software application now and then, particularly games. I've discovered that games are usually cheaper on linux, considering that they don't have to pay licensing fee's for M$ libs, and M$ approval. tribes 2 for example was 60 dollars for windows. the linux version $20 (actually I think I got for 10 at ebx), but considering that both ports were realesed same day. Maybe other *nixers should think before they open they're mouth. 2003-04-14 10:04:28 0
