Hello, I've got a gentoo machine for kids (actually several), who have requested more games. Although there are many games installed, I poked around and found these dirs under /usr/portage:
dev-games games-action games-arcade games-board games-emulation games-engines games-fps games-kids games-misc games-mud games-puzzle games-roguelike games-rpg games-server games-simulation games-sports games-strategy games-util Also I have manually added games such as frozen-bubble, enigma and smclone. Rather that go throught them one at a timne, I'll like to install everything possilbe in these dirs and create a list of games so that if a games is not automagically added to the menu (like enigma was but smclone nor froze-bubble where) then an index could exist to the games could be browzed by name and launched into the framebuffer, ascii session or whatever the games needs. Some will not be loadable at all from the menu editor under KDE (framebuffer or ascii games....). So I'd like a list of all of the games with the paths so they can be launched manually. The games that can be launched from the KDE menu, it would be nice if they were automatically included in the menu, without having to invoke the menu editor manually for this. For example, adding supermario (smclone) it had to be manually included into the KDE setup for each user with a login account. I have the kde games installed but many more exist. What I'm really looking for is a simple command syntax string or script (program) to run that loads every game conceivable onto the machine. That way I can support many gentoo machines for kids without extraordiary keystrokes.... Thoughts or ideas? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
