Angband: Why not?

Trisquel GNU/Linux uses Ubuntu repositories as a base for it's repository system. See (http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-trisquel-made) for more information. The current 4.0 release of Trisquel is based of Ubuntu 10.04 which has Angband (http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/angband) in its multiverse repository (non-free). It appears that in version 10.10 of Ubuntu that it was moved to the universe repository (http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/angband).

Thus it should be in the Trisquel repositories in the next release of Trisquel which should be based off of version 10.10 of Ubuntu.

Hi
I thought I'd let this "cook" for a while.
In Synaptic, I see things like "doc" etc. for Angband, but not the game itself.
I tried "sudo apt-get install" and received the "no candidate" message.

So, I pulled the hard drive and put in another one that has Angband in the repos and installed the game.

I, personally, think that this is a GREAT time waster!

It is SO SIMPLE that if one does not do well, then, what the hey...no great loss.

BUT, as a "puzzle" game it is a great game.

It rather reminds me of the "Egypt/Cheops/"some Egyptian name" game for the old Commodore 64 that was a "vertical scroller" and requred, with NO DOCUMENATATION, that you "knock" on every PIXEL of the four "walls" in the "last room" to find the place with the "final key"...

Some people REALLY LIKE THAT, and some people do NOT like that.

But.... I, personally, would think that, and this is JUST MY OPINION, that the people who would want to use Tri would maybe find this game to be a:

HOOT!!! :)

HOW ABOUT.....you come back with a few comments on why you really like the game so as to promote it a little bit?

just a thought I am NOT a developer or anything, it is just a suggestion as to how you might promote the game.
