LINUXGAMES

Mike MacCana forwarded the following e-mailfrom Slingshot concerning a Linuxport of Soul Ride, asnowboarding game:

I have a working Linux port. I need to do a little bit of hacking to getit up to date, and then we’ll release the executable along with theupcoming virtual resort downloads. There are still a couple of openquestions about how to install the mountains from the retail game, but thevirtual resorts at least should be playable. So it’s definitely on myagenda. I have a few pressing items to take care of first though, soit’ll be several weeks before we release any Linux stuff.

Thanks for your interest,

-Thatcher

P.S. I used SDL as the porting layer, and I’m developing under RedHat 6.1at the moment, using the NVidia OpenGL drivers. I’m not sure what kind ofcompatibility problems we’ll run into though, with distributing binaries.Let me know if you have any opinions/experience with that…

You can download a trailer for Soul Ridehere.
