- Hello,
-
- In space, no one can hear you scream... But you can hear asteroids blowing
- up. This is to announce the release of Sasteroids v1.5, a svgalib (not X)
- asteroids-type game with joystick support.
-
- Actually, sasteroids has been kicking sound since the beginning of Sept.
- Those of you who have the beta-2 version don't really have to get this one.
-
- There is also a new snd+gfx package (sound + graphics) which includes most
- of the files needed to change the sound and bitmap graphics in the game. You
- DON'T need this file if all you want to do is play the game.
-
- There are both binary and source releases. The binary release is for those
- of you without gcc/g++ 2.5.8 or svgalib 1.20 installed.
-
- I have uploaded it to: sunsite.unc.edu
- /pub/Linux/Incoming/sast1.5-src.tar.gz (source)
- /pub/Linux/Incoming/sast1.5-snd+gfx.tar.gz (sound+graphics)
- /pub/Linux/Incoming/sast1.5-bin.tar.gz (binary)
-
- where it will probably be moved to:
- /pub/Linux/games/video/
-
- Also tsx-11.mit.edu where it will probably be moved into:
- /pub/linux/sources/usr.games/sast1.5-src.tar.gz
- /pub/linux/sources/usr.games/sast1.5-snd+gfx.tar.gz
- and..
- /pub/linux/binaries/usr.games/sast1.5-bin.tar.gz
-
-
- ***
- Note: You need gcc 2.5.8, c++ libraries, and svgalib 1.2.0 (or greater)
- to compile the source release. Svgalib is available at sunsite.unc.edu,
- tsx-11.mit.edu and other linux ftp site. You'll need linux 1.1.4? and up to
- hear the groovy sound.
