Linux binary Finally!!!

Long time ago... when people made money porting games to linux.. i came across an article about how to create a universal executable for linux. That is an interesting thing because you never know what the end users' system has installed and which of the libraries that you need are missing. The article offers three solutions.. out of which i decided to go ahead with the third method.. Here is the article if you would like to have a look http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/linuxprogramming2/page2.asp Definitely a good read... if you would like to develop applications for linux and deploy them on large number of systems. If you are wondering why the hell im' posting this now??... after all these years??.. well remember the Cube Puzzle game??.. it was available for windows as a binary but not for linux.. the source was out there.. but thats' not fair.. so today i decided and made the linux binary for the game. Grab it from code.google.com . As you can see ab

Next is what?

So the other day one of my friends asked me if i could help him guide a team of artists and developers to get a game done. .. so i wrote a small write up for how the game should be.. essentially a requirements' specification doc for a game. Have to see how that works out .. :) Meanwhile .. ive' been working rarely/sparsely on it and haven't made much progress. Mostly because ive' been busy with writing the above doc :) .. but thats' just an excuse.. i've been getting stuck at various stages as in how to implement the rotation of the puzzle etc. During the development of CubePuzzle for the pc ive' taken some liberties implementing it without proper structure etc, I wanted to change that this time and wanted to do it better.. .hopefully ill' come up with something which is easy to manage and doesn't look outright devilish... :)
