Lugaru goes open-source
,----[ Quote ]
| In the spirit of the Humble Indie Bundle,
| we have decided to release the source code
| to Lugaru! Our community has already made
| some great mods by editing the levels and
| graphics, but source code access will allow
| for much deeper modifications. The coding
| style is what you might expect from a self-
| taught high school student, so it could be
| a challenge to understand, but feel free to
| give it a shot!

| For example, the latest Alien Arena in the
| ubuntu repositories is 7.33, which we have
| installed here on altFIRE (upgrading
| soon!). You could of course download the
| new binaries from the official website, but
| like me you might like to keep things apt-
| based so upgrades just involves running
| apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.

Why there is a Market for Linux Games
,----[ Quote ]
| Judging by that pie chart Linux users
| appear to make up almost 25% of the
| donations and their average donation amount
| is almost double that of the average
| Windows user donation. This means that of
| the 571,048$ donated thus far 142,762$ is
| from Linux users. But remember Linux users
| are cheap and their is no money in Linux
| game market - right.
|
| Games that already exist on only the
| Windows platform need ports as well. In
| fact there is so much demand for some of
| these games to run on Linux that
| Codeweavers has a business commercially
| supporting many of these titles on the
| Linux operating system (its not perfect -
| but for now it works).
