Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've got a gentoo machine for kids (actually several), who have requested more |
| 4 |
games. Although there are many games installed, I poked around and found these |
| 5 |
dirs under /usr/portage: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
dev-games |
| 8 |
games-action |
| 9 |
games-arcade |
| 10 |
games-board |
| 11 |
games-emulation |
| 12 |
games-engines |
| 13 |
games-fps |
| 14 |
games-kids |
| 15 |
games-misc |
| 16 |
games-mud |
| 17 |
games-puzzle |
| 18 |
games-roguelike |
| 19 |
games-rpg |
| 20 |
games-server |
| 21 |
games-simulation |
| 22 |
games-sports |
| 23 |
games-strategy |
| 24 |
games-util |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Also I have manually added games such as frozen-bubble, enigma and smclone. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Rather that go throught them one at a timne, I'll like to install everything |
| 29 |
possilbe in these dirs and create a list of games so that if a games is |
| 30 |
not automagically added to the menu (like enigma was but smclone nor |
| 31 |
froze-bubble where) then an index could exist to the games could be |
| 32 |
browzed by name and launched into the framebuffer, ascii session |
| 33 |
or whatever the games needs. Some will not be loadable at all |
| 34 |
from the menu editor under KDE (framebuffer or ascii games....). |
| 35 |
So I'd like a list of all of the games with the paths so they can be launched |
| 36 |
manually. The games that can be launched from the KDE menu, it would be |
| 37 |
nice if they were automatically included in the menu, without having |
| 38 |
to invoke the menu editor manually for this. For example, adding supermario |
| 39 |
(smclone) it had to be manually included into the KDE setup for each user |
| 40 |
with a login account. I have the kde games installed but many more exist. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
What I'm really looking for is a simple command syntax string |
| 43 |
or script (program) to run that loads every game conceivable onto the machine. |
| 44 |
That way I can support many gentoo machines for kids without extraordiary |
| 45 |
keystrokes.... |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Thoughts or ideas? |
