Gamer Builder

[kaleckton]

I am currently in the process of building a puppy linux gaming website indexing games and software in one site as best as possible. I am asking for ideas, locations for video games etc. An RSS feed is in consideration. Reviews on software and games will be available. Also all games will be set into categories which will be in alphabetical order. Anyone interested in helping will be given credits. Website opening is planned August 1st.

Make use of the various search facilities here:
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PuppyLinuxSearchEngine

Some games need a particular resource
java, flash, openGL drivers etc
so info on that would be useful

Good luck

Yes! gaming pets should be tested in a fresh install , so that you can also link to the dependencies needed.

Cheers!,

Well I have been testing some pets and the ones that should work, don't, and the ones that shouldn't work for me, work. its confusing atm since i have tried 50 games last night and half worked, the other didn't. still don't know why nuclear chess didn't work.

@kaleckton,

when any program doesn't work, the first thing to try is running the program's executable, in a console, to see whether any clues are given why it's not working. I just installed nuclearchess, and had this result:

Code: Select all

# nuclearchess
nuclearchess: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The solution, with my setup, was:

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.7.2 /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0
