LGames - Linux Games

Note: I am taking a long break being home only every once in a while. So it may take some time—even months—before I can reply to e-mails. For bugs and patches the best you can do is to use the project's trackers.

LBreakout 2.6.1 Released
2009-12-24 12:04 - LGames
Some minor fixes: All sounds now have sample rate 22050 to prevent poor on-the-fly conversion of cheap sound cards. Fixed a bug that cut the first few entries from the level set list in the menu (so you have more to play now! :-). Some english typos have been fixed by Colin Tucker and the quick help now has text with proper transparency. [end]

LBreakout 2.6 Released
2009-10-26 19:40 - LGames
The reason why this release has been beta for a long time is that I intended to rewrite the network code from scratch. Unfortunately, I did not find the time to complete this task and by now I don't think I will ever dig into it again. But the current solution should be good enough for LAN play. So this release provides just minor enhancements and fixes mostly related to compiling and configuration. Apart from that there is now a better French localization, all currently available level sets are included and the game should appear in the menu of the desktop environment on installation (via XDG support). I have also added a hidden option to disable the swearing on loosing a ball by default. It can only be enabled by manually editing the config file (explained in the README). So now it is fully suitable for children. [end]

LTris 1.0.13 Released
2009-10-25 21:15 - LGames
Minor stuff: French and swedish localization added, highscore charts are now language independent (previously an all new chart was created if language changed) and the 'block shadow' (to help aiming) is now enabled by default. Note: The chart fix will create new highscore charts for all game types but the old ones remain in the highscore file. Thus you can manually edit it to restore them. [end]

Cleanups
2009-10-25 20:55 - LGames
Having a few more days break at home than initially planned (I just came back from my first trip to Dhammagiri in India) I will try to release all the things that are idling on my laptop's harddisc to get LGames into a consistent state again. As a first step I cleaned up and reordered the project's files list for more clarity and uploaded a few old (mostly unfinished) projects (games and libraries) into a new folder called 'mindnoise' . They are no longer under development but may be interesting anyway. [end]

Taking a break
2009-04-07 13:42 - LGames
I am going to retreat for a while, taking a break from worldly matters. So for the next few months... years... I won't be able to take care of any submissions. Be patient! ;-) [end]
