In Debian I don't give a fuck because apt is selecting depending
packages for me. But when it comes to manual installation, everything
that makes installation more complicated is big minus on the game. I
never liked the fact that in windows you can easily install a game by
donwnloading and unpacking it, maybe you had to run an installer. On
Linux, you often have to fix dependecies, compile it (well, Wormux
fortunately has static binaries - both issues adressed) and install the
data pack.
With just the static binary and data in one .tar.gz/.tar.bz2 installing
Wormux is as easy on Linux as on Windows. That would be a big plus
actually. If you want to care about modem users, you can additionaly
offer splitted packages.
For debian it doesn't matter at all thanks to apt :-)
BTW: Installation of "PPRacer" sucked extra big because you had to
manually set the path to the data in the config file.

I just downloaded "PPRacer", a game that is also splitted into two

Why ? For Debian (for example), splitting is an obligation :-) Because
data are common to all architectures ;-)
In our case it is also interresting because src and bin package use the
same datas ;-)
Do you find the installation of src+data packages soo complicated ?
