Post meeting summary

This one was fun. Most people there didn't know about even half the games I was showing, that made it great.

Showed the following games on Fedora Core 3:

  • Neverputt
  • Frozen Bubble (written in Perl)
  • Torcs (w/ gamepad support)
  • KAtomix
  • BZFlag
  • KBalls
  • LBreakout


I had problems with the SDL library which prevented me from showing these:

  • Neverball
  • Tuxracer
  • Tuxkart
  • FlightGear FS


We also talked about wine and Cedega wine and people traded some website addresses at the end of the meeting. It was cool. Ben and Dan both voluntered to help out with future meetings. Ben wanted to give a presentation on LVM and Dan wants to give one on Emulation.
