We host binaries of a ton of games so you don’t have to compile them, and we have a channel open for general gaming discussion as well. Click the website link for more info.

I don’t know if it’s possible to build it without that requirement; let me know if it is.

I thought the only version was that SDL-ized one? I’d love one that didn’t rely on X, and in turn rely on SDL.

Yes, wallpaper please.

I’m looking for the best text-based games, and since you’re the guru of lightweight apps, I thought I’d ask you.
