* Package name : dmagnetic Version : 0.13 Upstream Author : Thomas Dettbarn <[email protected]> * URL : http://www.dettus.net/dMagnetic * License : BSD Programming Lang: C Description : A Magnetic Scrolls Interpreter "You wake up on a sunny August morning with birds singing, and the air fresh and clear. However, your joints are stiff and you have not woken up in your bedroom as you would have expected. Trying to recall what happened the night before, you manage to piece together a few brief glimpses to give the following account:" This is the beginning of "The Pawn", a classic text adventure from Magnetic Scrolls. Since I loved those games when I grew up, I created an interpreter called "dMagnetic", to play it on modern hardware. It can also be used to play "The Guild of Thieves", "Jinxter", "Fish!", "Myth", "Corruption" and "Wonderland". The graphics are being rendered in glorious ANSI art, so that you play them on the text console, as well as an xterm window. You can have a look at the beautiful screenshots on my projects website, http://www.dettus.net/dMagnetic. Anyways, since I would also love to see more people playing those games, I took the liberty of creating the inkling of a package for Debian. You can find it at http://www.github.com/dettus/ports_and_packages/. However, I see myself more as a "developer" rather than a "maintainer", and would thus like to give it into more experienced hands. If anybody could take over, it would be great. (Technically, that is an RFA, I know) My goal is to have my project in your package repository, which would be amazing. Thomas Dettbarn
