Other N900 GNU mobile phone tips

Slingshot is an amazing game, yet simple, playing on gravity in space. Go check it out, it just needs Pyhon and PyGame, easy to set up.

However, there are some problems with running the latest version 0.8.1p on the Nokia N900, mostly due to the fact that it doesn't run the framebuffer display in 24 or 32 bit mode, but in 16.

To fix this, I've modified the code, replacing aalines with lines...

To run the game on the Nokia N900:

• On the N900 install pygame:

  # apt-get install python-pygame

• Download slingshot_0.8.1p-r2 from http://kumatux.org/Applications.html
  
• You can install the app in kumatux.org, recommended, checkout http://kumatux.org/ to see how you can install any app anywhere, without root privileges.
• If you don't want to install kumatux.org, just unpack the archive anywhere and within its directory, run the slingshot script in the bin subdir.
• To play slingshot comfortably on the N900, you should have its window maximized, for this you need wmctrl - 相撲外：Run any app fullscreen on Nokia N900.

I've also modified the slingshot files to respect the Nokia N900 keyboard, i.e. to Escape to the menu and in it, press q, to select press enter.

Enjoy the game.
