It works on 5.0rc3 Cinnamon. Any way to increase the window's size?

[donald]

press F = fullscreen

[Ed_P]

Thank you donald. A Help tab would be nice to have.

Any helpful keys for reverting back to the smaller size, scores and exiting?

Any helpful keys for reverting back to the smaller size, scores and exiting?

Have you tried looking in up in the man pages?

I left them in for a reason.

Not as helpful as you might think.

Not as helpful as you might think.

At least it knows these options:

Code: Select all

       --fullscreen
           start the game in fullscreen mode

       --no-fullscreen
           don't start the game in fullscreen mode

A better option? http://glenn.sanson.free.fr/v2/?select=fb

Create a working module, upload it, share it via ▷ Forum ▷ Porteus 64-bit Editions ▷ x86_64 xzm modules and we will see.

[Ed_P]

I thought the link supported playing the game online. Apparently not. Sorry.

[Rava]

As written in Porteus-v5.0 is released!

Perl has been moved to 05-devel (so those that need it for some perl script will need get it, so as not to need to run with devel)

Loading a 141.59 MB module just to get perl is a bit of an overkill…

Does anyone have a stripped version, just the perl stuff out of 05-devel?
I was hoping to find it in bundles, but no such luck.

just use getpkg perl
very little(if anything) is stripped from perl in devel anyway

Doing it right now.

Just curious, when getpkg asks

is it clever enough to know where "." is?
I gave it the full path, but I navigated into the target folder prior starting it, so I am curious if "." as path would have worked.

Now that I have it, does one need the whole perl-5.36.0-x86_64-2.xzm thing?
I presume there is quite some stuff only needed when I want to create stuff, or is everything needed to run just a perl script? 16MB seems large for just the runtime stuff.

Why is perl, or Bzip2.c and perl so unwilling to adhere to downwards compatibility.
Does a user need dozens of perl binaries installed when perl scripts demand slightly different versions?
It's not about perl 4 vs perl 5, it's about perl5.36.0 vs perl5.34.0

if you are using the standard final release of of porteus-v5.0 getpkg should pull from slackware-15.0 (perl 5.34) not slackware-current (perl 5.36)
unless you have changed the line: SLACKVER=15.0 in /usr/local/bin/getpkg

I do indeed use standard 5.0 finale version.

… working on it, stand by …

Hmmm… I reverted /usr/local/bin/getpkg

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/mnt/sdb4/bin/linux/perl# grep SLACKVER= /usr/local/bin/getpkg
SLACKVER=15.0

but still getpkg loads the same (wrong) perl package:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/mnt/sdb4/bin/linux/perl# getpkg perl

[OK] perl-5.36.0-x86_64-2.txz

Do I need to kill a program and restart it so that /usr/local/bin/getpkg gets read anew?

At least there seems to be no variable by the name of SLACKVER.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/mnt/sdb4/bin/linux/perl# echo $S[TAB]
$SECONDS    $SHELL      $SHELLOPTS  $SHLVL      $SRANDOM 

Or is a reboot needed? (For now, getting to try if Frozen Bubble will run - or be without that knowledge for a few days or weeks is without much importance…)
