Contributor Dridiot on the Gaming category

Promote casual gaming  
Written by tenchi39 the 27 Mar 08 at 07:15. Global category: Gaming. New
We all know that the Wii is a big hit. We can make linux just as successfull with these mini ideas:

- Make a program (Ubuntu Game Browser) that is like adept or synaptic but only shows games (and emulators) that can be installed/removed with proper description and screenshots. This program would be automatically installed in Programs/Games

- Help financially projects like stepmania, frets on fire, sim-city like games etc. Games that are popular and would be successful on other platforms too, or mimic other successful games exclusively in linux. Make these available in the repositories and be sure to always have the latest version.

- Make a subpage on ubuntu.com for games. Also, games should be able to send "achievment points" or high scores to this page to show the top100 gamers for each popular game. There could also be an online matchmaker here

- Make easy to use interface in gnome and kde to configure gamepads, joysticks, dancepads, wheels etc. Be sure to support out of the box the wii controller, xbox360 controller etc...

Shockwave Director Pug-in for Linux  
Written by wvsint the 2 Mar 08 at 19:41. Global category: Gaming. New
Currently I found no way to run a "Shockwave Director" based website under linux. i.e. www.habbo.nl.

Is it possible to make Shockwave Director run under Linux or have substitute program developped ?
