This penguin is sad:


Why? Because some of YOUR games aren't for Linux!

The challenge is as follows:

Port any of your freeware or commercial games that have either only Windows or Win/Mac version over to Linux. You can port as many games (or try to) as you see fit. The winner will be person who got most WORKING Linux ports.

Deadlines:
Applications - 23 Sept 2013
Contest end (games MUST BE ported to this date!) 23 Sept 2014.

Why end date is so far away?
Because porting can take long time, I know that from experience with non-game programming projects.

Application form

Your name:
List of games you want to port (games must exist by now, so you must post also links to download or game's site in case of commercial games):

Haha. No.

(Maybe later, though. I'd want to do a Linux port, but that has to wait until its viable)

Thumbs up for the idea!  All my games are already running on Linux, I can't participate since I have nothing to port, but I want to show support anyway Smiley

Well, if I get some spare time and inspiration in between my work sessions on Chomp's Wacky Worlds, I may make a "deluxe" port of Bytt Strikes Back (and by deluxe, I mean the only finished version...) Other than that, there's really nothing I can think of anything that won't get ported anyway...
