Description Zombie Ryushu 2021-01-15 18:53:26 MSK
Please import from Mageia, I didn't realize we lacked this Package.


This release includes a number of small changes from the last one and a half years. Notable are:

    Making the game logic more deterministic
    Slightly adjusting the dizziness mechanic
    Making Trackballs buildable with Guile 3.0, and fixing a few compiler warnings
    Drawing objects with Blinn-Phong shading, instead of Phong
    Balls are now rendered more accurately
    The level editor now visually displays cell flags (poison, trampoline effect, etc.)

I only sporadically work on Trackballs, and make releases when some amount of time or code has accumulated. If you want me to make a release earlier for any reason, please ask. If you have bug reports (or wish to report that a level is too easy/too hard), please file an issue here on Github.

Have fun!

According to ABF we had it int the 2012 era, then got dropped for reasons unknown  to me. So this can be easily restored...

However at the time we also had a "trackballs-music" package containing some background music files: is also this one needed?

I think it is.

Trackballs has been published and now works! Fantastic!
