What are the new games? I have oh-puzzles installed with the 24 separate icons. But, I'm using c_c's launcher app to provide a "Games" category. I'd prefer to be able to launch a specific game right away, as opposed to some sort of launcher script that makes me select which game I want to launch. I only play 3 or 4 of the 24 games anyways...
Perhaps you could do both? By default, install a wrapper script. But also provide a second ipk that creates all the .desktop files for each game. -Steven On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 7:45 AM, EdorFaus <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I finally got tired enough of Loopy not working to do something about > it, and ended up creating an updated package. > > This package has only been tested on SHR-U, but I think it should work > on OM and other opkg-based ones too?
