HI all,
I've been working hard on getting game submenus realised, as atleast 2 people here wanted them (Tibbs and Wart), and I must say that I'm a bit disappointed about the lack of feedback.
So please do a: rpm -ivh http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/games-menus-0.2-1.fc7.noarch.rpm
Click on your menu goto games and enjoy. Also we should start fixing our packages for games which show up in a strange place and start filing bugs against other peoples packages, again for more info on how to properly use the Categories field see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-games-list/2007-March/msg00003.html
Thanks & Regards,
Hans
That's very nice. I like the layout.
Sorry I didn't participate, I was down with a cold and away from email. I had over 600 when I got back, just now getting through it. :)

Erm, well, it must have been nearly a year since I last thought about it, and at the moment I'm knee deep in core merge reviews and expect to stay that way for quite some time.
I'm still at FC5 on the desktop; any chance that your package will work there?

Sortoff, you will get the submenus, but all games will also still be in the main menu. This is a redhat-menus bug which is fixed in an FC-6 update (after a BZ entry by me).

I've actually been using this for the past week on two separate machines. It's _greatly_ improved the usability of the Games menu, though I had to update a few of my packages to get them located in the right category. :)
I'm left with two that I'm not sure how to categorize:
neverball: This is a 'roll the ball around a maze and avoid the traps' type of game. it's not really a board game, so maybe 'logic & puzzles' would be the best fit?
xpilot: it's like a multiplayer version of asteroids, on steroids. It has the visual appearance of an arcade game, but much more complicated gameplay.
suggestions on how to best categorize either of these is welcome.

Good to hear!

Yes good question, I need to fix trackballs too, I gess logic and puzzles is the best choice, shall we put both of them (trackballs and neverball) there?
xpilot: it's like a multiplayer version of asteroids, on steroids. It has the visual appearance of an arcade game, but much more complicated gameplay.
Arcade is very crowded, so I would say action. My rule kinda is: If it isn't a straight forward clone of an arcade game -> action.
The mean reason for this is because for a while I've focused on packaging true arcade clones and even with games-menus installed my arcade menu has scroll arrows (I still need to recategorize some packages, hopefully that will help).
Regards,
Hans

That would work for me. I'm updating neverball now.

I'll go ahead and put both Action and Arcade, to be more descriptive, even though this will still leave it in the Action menu.
I see that wormux is also cluttering up the ArcadeGame menu. I'll move this to 'Strategy' instead.

You did a very good job, kudos. Sorry, been busy but I rebuilt the srpn and it installed without a hitch. I like the various categories and all the games that I have installed found their way to their appropriate slots. Again, it worked nicely and has function. Ric
