-First, catch your rabbit. Somehow get KGoldrunner installed. Your
-GNU/Linux distribution has probably already packaged it for easy
-installation.
+KXP = KGoldRunner eXpansion Pack. This consists of two games
+(Beginner's Luck and Dig While Falling) that I've made for
+KGoldrunner. These were added to KGoldrunner version 4.14 which is
+part of the KDE Applications 15.12 release.
-Then place the .grl files in
-~/.kde/share/apps/kgoldrunner/user/levels, creating this if it doesn't
-exist.
+To use them first catch your rabbit: Somehow get KGoldrunner
+installed. Your GNU/Linux distribution has probably already packaged
+it for easy installation.
-Edit or create ~/.kde/share/apps/kgoldrunner/user/games.dat and add
-this line:
-
-200 T kxp KGoldRunner Expansion Pack
+Then place the .txt files from the Level Files directory into
+/usr/share/kde4/apps/kgoldrunner/system. You will probably need root
+access to copy files here.
Now run KGoldrunner and when you select New Game from the Game menu,
-you should see the KGoldrunner Expansion Pack listed.
+you should see both Beginner's Luck and Dig While Falling listed.
Enjoy!
SOLUTIONS
=========
-Stuck? Need help? Can't figure out how to pass a level? Normally I'd
-tell you to select Show A Solution from the Move menu but it appears
-that KGoldRunner doesn't allow third party level designers to provide
-their own solutions.
-
-I've come up with a workaround using the fact that KGoldRunner records
-you as you play levels. The file rec_kxp.txt contains recordings of my
-playing the levels from the KGoldrunner Expansion Pack. It currently
-contains recordings of the first 165 levels but recordings for all
-levels will be added.
-
-If you'd like to see how I did something, move that file into
-~/.kde/share/apps/kgoldrunner/user but be aware that since KGoldRunner
-has been recording you playing the levels this will overwrite your
-recordings you may want to back up your recordings file if you want to
-be able to keep that. Also, if you then go play a level it will
-overwrite my recording with yours. As a result, you may need to keep a
-"pristine" copy of my recordings around and swap the files around
-multiple times if you want to see multiple solutions while playing
-levels in between them.
-
-Hopefully these limitations will be addressed in a future version of
-KGoldRunner.
