This consists of games I've made for -KGoldrunner. +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. To use them first catch your rabbit: Somehow get KGoldrunner installed. Your GNU/Linux distribution has probably already packaged it for easy installation. -Then place the .grl files in -~/.kde/share/apps/kgoldrunner/user/levels, creating this if it doesn't -exist. - -Edit or create ~/.kde/share/apps/kgoldrunner/user/games.dat and add -these lines: - -70 T blb Beginner's Luck -28 T fd Flying Digger +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 both Beginner's Luck and Flying Digger listed. +you should see both Beginner's Luck and Dig While Falling listed. Enjoy! -Surplus Levels Directory -This contains levels which may be used in other games in the future. - - 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_blb.txt contains recordings of my -playing the levels from Beginner's Luck. Similiarly, the file -rec_fd.txt contains that from Flying Digger. - -If you'd like to see how I did something, move that file into -~/.kde/share/apps/kgoldrunner/user. However: 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 it. 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 file around so that it -can be swapped in as needed 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. +Stuck? Need help? Can't figure out how to pass a level? Select Show A +Solution from the Move menu. Thanks to Ian Wadham for all of his feedback and listening.
