<P> A new game appeared in Debian this month, and it's so cute I
|
|
have to write about it. Here's the Debian description:
|
|
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
Description: Tetris-like game with very impressive effects.
|
|
Cuyo, named after a Spanish possessive pronoun, shares
|
|
with Tetris that things fall down and how to navigate them.
|
|
When enough "of the same type" come "together", they explode.
|
|
The goal of each level is to blow special "stones" away, you
|
|
start with. But what "of the same type" and "together" means,
|
|
varies with the levels. If you hear someone shout that a dragon
|
|
is always burning his elephants, so that he is not able to blow
|
|
the volcano away, there a good chances to find Cuyo on his screen.
|
|
WARNING: It is known to successfully get many people away from
|
|
more important things to do.

<P> The object is to join like colors together. They don't all have to be in a
|
|
straight line, they just have to be next to each other.

<P> When one side gets the bottom row taken out, the bottom row slides over from
|
|
the other side. In the previous panel, the grass has already slid right, which
|
|
is why there are two layers of grass. Now in the next panel, the second row of
|
|
grass has slid up, and a row of ghosties is sliding right, to go underneath it.

The same principles apply here but the theme is different.

Get the package from Debian Unstable or download the source from the original
|
|
site: <A HREF="http://www.karimmi.de/cuyo/">http://www.karimmi.de/cuyo/</A>.
|
|
Poor Ben tried to install from source and and found he was missing some QT
|
|
library files, as you can read about in <A HREF="okopnik.html">his article</A>.
|
|
|
|
<P> Ben wasn't happy about the fact that the window isn't resizable. This
|
|
caused him problems when an 800x600 window took over his 800x600 screen and he
|
|
couldn't reach for his taskbar. To me, the problem is insignificant since my
|
|
screen is 1152x864.
|
|
|
|
<P> I hope the next version has even more cool themes!
