I got it going and even payed it. I'm so excilted! I killed someone. In any case I need an icon on my desk top that will open the game. I tried googling it but most of what I saw involved chmod. I remember asking about this but a search through the plug archives didn't turn anything up. All I want are the google search terms. I tried, 'how to write a linux executable' before and could not thik of anything else.
Thanks guys.

Re: Assault cube
Did you install the additional libraries before you installed the game?

From the assault cube site:

Code:
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-all libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libopenal1

Yeah, I saw it amd I hate to sound stupid but how do you do it? I tried apt-get yesterday when I saw that but it didn't work. Maybe I did it wrong.

If you look at the docs on the assaultcube web site you downloaded from, you will see this:
Linux
You'll need to make sure the appropriate OpenGL drivers are installed, plus these libraries:
* SDL 1.2
* SDL_image 1.2
* OpenAL Soft
* SDL_ttf 2.0
(Note: To use the client provided with the Linux package, you will need OpenAL-Soft instead of OpenAL. If you would rather use normal OpenAL, you will need to compile your own client).
so install those packages before you try to play.  That way you should not have to compile the source.
