Why do you want to bring it up to date? An answer to that question will help isolate which of several alternatives to suggest. ;-) What version do you have installed on it at the moment? The latest stable build from One Laptop per Child was os802 version 8.2.1. To test the latest XO-1 development build from One Laptop per Child, which is only a week or two old, follow this checklist: 0. identify the hardware, check the label underneath the battery, do not proceed if it is a B1 from November 2006 or a B2 from 2007, (mass production models have slip resistant rubber feet), 1. ensure that the laptop is unsecured, see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Developer_key for details, 2. update the firmware, see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Firmware for details, 3. update the software, see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_XO-1 for details. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Yea I know, I just remember 'Kingdom' or whatever it was called, to be not so engrossing that you played without reason, but just simple enough that you tried to work out the rules involved (or started poking about the code to see what they were). Obviously we could up the learning opportunity, perhaps pulling in some constructionist ideas, though I vaguely remember it was written by a teacher/professor originally (numeracy, reading, planning). admit it would just be a fun project to work on for me, probably make it's map graphics tile based so kids/deployments could easily customise and share the components for their own locale/imagination (and obviously any default text at least in pootle, or perhaps even a UI to edit and store/share in the journal entry). BTW: You probably need to be at least 35+ to have played 'Kingdom' ;) Regards, --Gary > -- > // Bernie Innocenti - http://codewiz.org/ > \X/ Sugar Labs - http://sugarlabs.org/ > ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Globulation 2 is a currently maintained project and offers a nice take on resource management. http://globulation2.org/wiki/Main_Page On 25 July 2010 18:37, Bernie Innocenti wrote: > El Sun, 25-07-2010 a las 02:25 +0100, Gary C Martin escribió: > >> Anyone else remember this? > > I played dozens of similar time-sinks, but none in particular that would > match your description 100%... the oldest resource-management games I > remember are: > > > The Settlers (1993, Amiga) > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Settlers_(video_game) > > Populous (1989, Amiga) > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populous > > M.U.L.E.

The problem with the POSSE spin from memory was because a couple of packages that were needed in certain circumstances weren't installed. That's been fixed.
