Main Stream Linux gaming |

ronybeck submitted a rather interesting read some ... days ago. It has somehow fallen through the cracks but is still worth reading:
An interesting look at main stream gaming on linux as well as some veiws on winex and why we aren't seeing more native games on linux.
It has a range of views on winex from:
Ryan Gordon: .......I don't believe it is preventing games from coming to Linux...there is anecdotal evidence that Game House X heard about WineX and decided that there was no reason to support Linux directly. I say these people never had any intention of thinking about Linux, so WineX makes a nice scapegoat.
to
Timothee Besset: .........I'm not a big fan. ........., is it a good thing to do all the development for a Windows platform, then expect Linux and OS X users to play it emulated? You might get a few sales without too much effort, but you won't have the technical benefits of doing the development on Linux.
A little more balanced view from various sources in the industry and a tad more insightful than some pointless WineX bashing.

| submitted by grumbel | posted by snyke |
While SuperTux has made quite good progress in the GotM month (new gfx, new enemies, leveleditor, etc.), it's still not fully release ready, another two weeks are expected before it can get it into a releasable and fully playable state. To speed up the process a bit another IRC meeting is planned at Saturday April 03 2004 at 18:00 GMT on irc.freenode.net, channel #supertux. Level creation will be an important topic on this meeting, so if you are interested in creating some levels feel very welcome to join. People for creating/polishing the SuperTux webpage are needed as well, so if you are interested please join the IRC meeting.
Update: Meeting log is available here.

Description: General Aviation Flight Simulator
Changelog:
Here a random selection of changes:
- Implement SimGear's (aka Andy's) Nasal scripting language in FlightGear and integrate with the FG property system.

- Added the ability to fetch current weather in real time during a flight (via a thread) from the weather.noaa.gov web site and update the current weather conditions in the sim.
- Make the ground intersection code smart so allow flying under bridges, taxiing on the lower level of the bay bridge, taxiing into hangers, etc.
- More work on the native multiplayer system.
- Sorted out the confusion between left, right, and parking brakes vs. the cockpit controls vs. the wheels they apply to.
- Add support for Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, thrustmaster top gun afterburner USB, Logitech WingMan Force 3D, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro USB, and Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro joysticks.
