Diplomacy rarely works on the internet so I go for a more blunt approach.

Heh... Businessmen oftentimes don't HAVE that luxury.

Huh what could be in linux-issues.txt hmmm I don't know could it be relevant to the platform I'm using maybe a should read it... but no people are too fucking lazy to read.

<**chuckle**> Heh... I wouldn't have put it QUITE that way, but I've got to be slightly more diplomatic than that. ;-)

nativ world of goo do have many other problems to witch a wine windows based world of goo do not have..

if you like play mp3s in the backround and turn of musik in world of goo you can't do this because world of goo do not have a option to turn of sound..

2. KEYBOARD CONTROLS

The Linux version supports the following keyboard controls:

Alt-Enter Toggle between full-screen mode and windowed mode

Alt-F4 Quit the game at any point
(Note that any progress made in the current level will be lost!)

Alt-M Toggle sound (mute/unmute)

The game can be paused by switching to windowed mode and then minimizing the
game window. This will also pause sound playback.

The lugaru code revealed a hidden option:

    if (!cmdline("nomousegrab"))
        SDL_WM_GrabInput(SDL_GRAB_ON);

So there is no need to patch the binary, just use

./lugaru nomousegrab

Its really small, only 11s with 1 core to compile (used cmake branch) of

So why is this not on the Phoronix front page already? In between 100 headlines about a Steam installer script.

50$. I hardly play games but I can do some graphic testing with this

Heh... I'd have to ask Michael the same thing here... Steam's that big- but, if you get right to brass-tacks, this is quite a bit bigger yet. Garnering over a quarter mil with some time left to spare- and nearly half of that came from OUR community...

@Svartalf

Just tested to mod lugaru, that's very simple even using objdump/sed - as the replacements only apply once:

#!/bin/sh
GAME=lugaru
for x in $(objdump -d $GAME|awk '/call/&&/SDL_WM_GrabInput/{print "\\x"$2"\\x"$3"\\x"$4"\\x"$5"\\x"$6}'); do
 echo found $x
 sed -i "s/$x/\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90/g" $GAME
done

Good question, both the sale, and all the interesting tidbits Wolfire has written about games for Linux should really deserve a place on the frontpage.

Maybe it could be seen as free advertising for the sale, and that's why it haven't been posted? On the other hand, that haven't stopped all other blogs and sites even remotely connected to Linux gaming from writing about it...
