Hi guys I came across this fast pace fun game called Virus Killers, Basically the background is a MS win desktop and shoot the virus trying to steal you files off the desktop, LOL
It uses 4 types of SDL to play it.

Background

Your computer has been invaded! Dozens of little viruses are pouring in via security holes in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft MSN Messenger and Microsoft Recycle Bin!! Using your trusty mouse you must shoot the buggers before they can destroy your files! Some will steal them from their home directories and take them back to their security hole. Others will just eat them right there on the spot! See how long you and your computer can survive the onslaught!

Features

(Note: Since this game is work in progress this list is subject to change)

* 3 different virus types.
* Builds directories and files to protect based on your computer!
* Increasing difficulty level
* Highscore table
* 3 difficulty settings

Thanks Ttuuxxx! Looks fun ... now the only thing is when will I get time to play it?

None of these links are up any longer.

I was looking for SDL_mixer-Smpeg and also sdl_gfx but can't seem to find them.I found the sdl_gfx.2.0.24.tar at their website, but have no idea how to install it.

Somebody's gotta make an app just for dependencies and libs...and find a reliable long-term place to host them for free.

hi eldon, which puppy are you using?

viruskiller-1.0-i486.pet
SDL.pet

Thank you!
Problem solved!
Using the latest version of Slacko btw.

Wow, this is awesome, I got it to work using muggins's .pets (the ones in the original post are expired links).

Works very well in Puppy 4.3.1.

I also tried it in Slacko 5.3.1 and Lucid 5.2.8, but it didn't work. Eldon is probably using 5.3.3.

Awesome game, I like it a lot.

edit: got it to work in 5.2.8 once, but I can't repeat what I did (I tried), not sure how I did it, but I had a bunch of other programs installed.
Also works fine on a fresh install of Slacko 5.3.1 but may not work if you have a lot of .pets installed (and one or more have conflicting code with the sdl .pet).

fun
