ClapTraps version 1 release!

Here it is, the 1.0 release of Claptraps! Windows users can run the included ClapTraps.exe, Linux users will have to make sure they have PyGame installed and then run "python ClapTraps.py". If you're on another operating system that has PyGame, give it a try and report back.

Have fun!

  2. Doesn't work on GNU/Linux - I'll have a look into what the problem is later.

  3. I tested it in VirtualBox with Kubuntu and it worked there.

    Hope you figure out the problem, what distro are you running?

  4. Ubuntu 9.10 with GNOME. It might be a missing dependency, so I'll look later. I'm going to install Fedora 13 soon, and I'll make an .rpm of Claptraps when I do.

  5. My idiot mistake - Ubuntu users on GNOME need to add the following as the first line to ClapTraps.py:

    #!/usr/bin/env python

    Also, don't forget to right click on the file in the Nautilus file browser, and go to Properties->Permissions and check the Execute checkboxbox to Allow Executing File as Program.

  6. Works on OS X 10.6 too (using PyGame installed from Macports package py26-game). Looks fun! Thanks :-)
