As you may know, Supertux is a 2d run and jump game, written in C(?),
with an rpm that (mostly) works on the xo. The rpm is located here. It
requires these dependencies to build it. With minor remapping, it
works with the xo's rocker pad and gamepad buttons.
I was wondering if someone wanted to create a .xo activity file and
fine-tune the already mostly functional supertux code for the use of
the G1G1 folks. This would add an activity purely focused at
entertainment, not just education.

So far, the steps I've done on my xo:

wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/supertux-0.1.3-5.fc6.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh supertux-0.1.3-5.fc6.i386.rpm
Rotate the screen *before* you start supertux from the dev console
Remap the keys via "Options"Things to do:

Package supertux and dependencies in a .xo format
fix the graphics problems, namely the large black border around the
game display(reducing the resolution to 480x640?)
fix the opengl rendering problems(found when using v 0.3)
create wikipage
establish relationship with supertux core developers
I'm not a software person, nor a programmer, so help would be
appreciated. The biggest impetus for me to do this is how much my
younger relatives would enjoy supertux on the xo!
