Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : ironseed Version : 0.2.4 Upstream Author : Matija Nalis <mnalis-...@voyager.hr> * URL : https://github.com/mnalis/ironseed_fpc * License : GPLv3 Programming Lang: Pascal Description : science-fiction exploration/strategy adventure game in space
It was originally both developed and published by Channel 7 for DOS in 1994. Gameplay is real-time, featuring trading, diplomacy, and strategy, and somewhat resembles Star Control 2 / Ur-Quan masters. DOS sources have been changed to make it possible to compile it with the freepascal compiler under Linux and SDL, and many bugs were fixed. Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Seed The DOS version of the game was originally released under GPLv3 on http://ironseed.net by original developers, ported to SDL by https://github.com/y-salnikov/ironseed_fpc and further improved by https://github.com/nukebloodaxe/ironseed_fpc and finally many bugs fixed by: https://github.com/mnalis/ironseed_fpc (disclaimer: myself) It is a nice game (or I wouldn't invest time in fixing bugs in it!) I've done basic Debian packaging in github repo, and resulting Debian package builds and runs fine with me. I'm hoping to find someone willing to help me push it to Debian GNU/Linux, so more people can easily get it and have fun playing it. If more work is required on it, I'm willing to do it, if someone will point me in right direction. But I am not DD and thus cannot do it all the way through myself. If I get Debian lingo right, I'm looking for a sponsor.
