Ok, perhaps this is a good idea. I wasn't aware of the sound server problem as the README said it was GPLed. Yes, I found it by fortune. sound.c says see copyright.h, but copyright.h doesn't exist. :-( Dave said he took sound from koules, so I asked koules maintainer. He said he took it from xgalaga *arrg* You certainly welcome to take maintainership. If you have a look at debian/dists/unstable/main/source/games/ their should be a file called xscavenger-1.3-1_i386.diff.gz (or something like that) which has all the changes I made to it - you should keep the changelog file, but the rest can be changed. I already have it ;) And I will incorporate your changelog in my, means I start from scratch. PS: You wouldn't know how to do level 13 would you - I'm stuck and I can't think of any other possible combinations I can do :-) There is no way to get back inside the yang-yang once you have gone outside it AFAIK, and when I get the bottom lot of gems, the man kills me as he is right behind me :-( The same level I'm stuck :( 1) You have to wait. The enemy will be trapped and you can walk over him. collect all games at the top in the ring. Then you stand upon the enemy and dig a hole beside him (left or right). But then you can just drop down, and the enemy is faster than you can jump on the floor inside the ring. There I don't know further. I should ask Dave about it. You can even walk on the enemyys head, and so you can catch the ladder group in the upper right. Tell me if you did more than I.

I don't really have the time or inclination to do any actual coding (I hate C :-)) I don't want to steal you a package, but if you offer it, I will take it over. It would be a good starting point, because it is so easy and I can learn a lot about packaging and programming. Another thing that bothers me is the copyright. Are there good reasons to place it in non-free? I think there is, because it uses the sound code from koules, which uses the sound code from xgalaga, which is shareware/a mix of different files. I will probably resolve this soon. Thank you, Marcus -- Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.
