John,

What can we do to help at this point? I am posting what information I can but I haven't found many bugs on my system other than what I have posted. If there is something in particular that is needed?

If he ports it to C++ then you will be able to compile it yourself providing he parts with the source code.

Of course, if he releases the source code then a community of hackers can help to improve upon it.

I'm dying to play it, but not so bad that I want to install Windows.

Sounds great! Appreciate it. I will happily "beta test" it. hehe.

What about the open source part? That would be cool as well but if you don't want to open 'er up, that'd be okay too I guess.

So, is there a Linux phase 2 yet? And, if not, will there be? There aren't that many Linux testers probably, so maybe quite a few of us will move on to the phase 2 beta. I'm hopeful.

Any chance of a Linux port of this lil game? Or the source?

Thanks,

and the installer is problematic an many distros (e.g. gentoo, suse, Mandrake I'm using Gentoo and have yet to have a problem with Loki's installer. Works great, and it's the best installer available atm. Why re-invent the wheel with new code, when this is already available and works fine. --Dweebs

Ok, thanks for the replies. Nothing to do on my part then, I suppose.

Thanks for the opportunity to beta test the Linux port, John. I hope to be one of the phase 2 Linux testers when we get to that point.
