I just bought Trine 2 for linux to my Foresight Linux lxde computer. I coulden’t start it in full window, had to choose “Run in window”.

Might be the issue:

error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Anyway, very happy to be able to play the game without any huge issues. I recommend this game for 10+ age and above. My daughter loved it.

Read, watch trailer and buy the game from their site: http://trine2.com/

New Release: 0 A.D. Alpha 9 Ides of March

Top new features in this release:

• The Roman Republic faction, playable on custom scenarios and random map scripts–in single player and multiplayer, complete with a new art set, including new buildings, units, and ships.
• A new combat system that adds bonuses and weaknesses to each unit, like rock-paper-scissors (e.g. spearmen defeat melee cavalry, but are countered by skirmishers and cavalry archers).
• A brand new trading system, over land with traders trained from markets, and over sea with merchant ships built at the dock. Establish a trade route between two markets or docks, and your traders will gain resources for every trip made. You can choose which resource will be gained by a trader.
• Over a dozen new random map scripts by Spahbod, wraitii, and mmayfield45.
• New animations: Rowing oars for ships, rams, some catapults, traders, some animals.
• AI improvements: 0 A.D.’s default AI, qBot, has had a performance increase and had a serious bug fixed with the attack code.

If installed earlier, sudo conary updateall will update the game for you.

Happy gaming

One of the first InfiniMiner/Minecraft(/whatever) inspired games (started October 2010), with a goal of taking the survival multiplayer gameplay to a slightly different direction.

The game does not really differ from Minecraft except for having a lot less features. Still, playing is quite fun already, especially for people who have not been able to experience Minecraft.

Installation, mods and more at: http://www.foresightlinux.se/wiki-en/index.php?title=Minetest

NOTE

For now, only fl:2-devel label can play the game. As it needs jthread and libvorbis from fl:2-devel label. So next push to fl:2-qa label, it will work for anyone with Foresight to play it.

We also added sound as default, will make the game more fun.

Minecraft is a commercial game very popular with geeks. It’s a game about blocks. You can build a computer out of the game thanks to logical switches. There is a parallel world. Zombies, pigs, spiders, sheeps, wolves that you can tame, etc… This wiki page is here to help you install the game :)

Getting the game

Buy your copy here : http://www.minecraft.net

Put the files in ~/.minecraft/ or wherever you want to. And make the game executable :

 chmod u+x minecraft.jar

Install java

The devs say Sun’s java is required but OpenJDK works fine. Foresight already have java as default, no need to install it.

Play the game

Run minecraft with :

 java -jar $HOME/.minecraft/minecraft.jar

If you want to allocate it more ram, do like this :

 java -jar -Xms1024M -Xmx2048M $HOME/.minecraft/minecraft.jar

Extras

There are several programs and editors which can make your Minecraft experience a little easier to navigate. The most common of these programs are map generators. Using one of these programs will allow you to load up a Minecraft world file and render it as a 2D image, providing you with a top-down map of the world.

Minecraft Server

Minecraft is also available as a server, which will allow you to share a world with other players over the Internet. Here’s what you’ll need to do:

• Download the multiplayer beta server jar from the Minecraft site
• Just run the jarfile:

(You can sub the -Xmx and -Xms values for the amount of memory you want your server to use. A good rule of thumb is one GB per ten users.)

 java -jar -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
