Thanks a lot. @Alberto, thanks to the help from Philipp I'd be interested in salvaging animals into Debian Games team. I've created a Git repository on Salsa[1].

Yes, this is really nice. Thanks a lot for it. > Thanks to everyone for their support! Kind regards Andreas. [1] https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/animals -- https://fam-tille.de
