If a game doesn't make use of the gtk.net stuff, it'd probably run
fine just as long as you have x and sdl compiled and installed.

Hi Tom,
Multiboot is definitely a posibility. I've installed Gnome under

I meant it as music, I wouldn't dream of using it in my own stuff, its more

Like all other music tracks I have its like an album I won't use it or dream to

I think you should be able to get around the monster either by jumping over
it or, as it is, walk through it, because we cannot actually move to it's

Arrows never make a propeller-type sound. If a lightning bolt were to hit a
wooden shaft, it might sizzle or pop, or it would pop if the shaft were
aluminum, although I don't think these would be aluminum arrows.

Hi Aaron,
Oh...I see what you are saying. From a programming standpoint that would
be a total nightmare to program. Every lightning bolt, arrow, etc would
have to move in real time with the sound of course being panned in real
time. That is way, way, way, way too much work for me at this point.
Hi,
Well, if yu think about it everything has an absolute minimum range in
real life. For the games purposes the game measures everything in feet
as a rule. So if an enemy is in say, 0 feet, that is way too close to
use a pistol, magnum, shotgun, etc so it won't allow you to hit the

Bah. Sorry for the double post, forgot to answer the second part of this.

Sorry, but that just seems kind of weird to me. The only weapon I can see
having a realistic minimum range is the bow, and only because you have to
draw it to fire. The other weapons, especially the pistols, are all small
enough to be used at close range, and in fact shotguns are meant to be use
Re-using any of this stuff commercially though would probably open you
