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 <a href="http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/supertux-0.1.3-5.fc6.i386.rpm" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
here</a>. It requires <a href="http://supertux.lethargik.org/wiki/Building_SuperTux#Prerequisites" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">these</a> dependencies to build it. With minor remapping, it works with the xo's rocker pad and gamepad buttons.
<br>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.
<br><br>So far, the steps I've done on my xo:<br><ul><li>wget <a href="http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/supertux-0.1.3-5.fc6.i386.rpm" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/supertux-0.1.3-5.fc6.i386.rpm
</a></li><li>rpm -ivh supertux-0.1.3-5.fc6.i386.rpm</li><li>Rotate the screen *before* you start supertux from the dev console</li><li>Remap the keys via "Options"</li></ul>Things to do:<br><ul><li>Package supertux and dependencies in a .xo format
</li><li>fix the graphics problems, namely the large black border around the game display(reducing the resolution to 480x640?)</li><li>fix the opengl rendering problems(found when using v 0.3)</li><li>create wikipage</li>
<li>establish relationship with supertux core developers<br></li></ul>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!
