This is a really great game! One of my all-time favourites..

FreeCiv is a civilization clone, and a great turn based strategy game.
Compiled on Akita, should work on most recent pups.

______________________________
If you have problems:
You must run this as 'spot', which this pkg will do for you.
In your Puppy, 'spot' may not have access to audio.
If spot is OK, but sound is not enabled, try installing SDL_mixer.
This package requires SDL, SDL_image, iconv
Ideally, get those SDL packages from you Puppys repo.
But if you have problems, please use the libs above.
If you still have problems, particularly with the game crashing at the end of your turn,
then check you have the following files and folders:
Code: Select all
/root/spot/.freeciv/saves/
/root/spot/.civclientrc
To do this in the terminal:
Code: Select all
chown spot:spot -R /root/spot
(right click, choose 'properties', tick all boxes, aka 777)...
