I am giving myself       at least a couple days off while the dust settles on these latest upgrades. I       think I deserve it.               AA> The other two projects listed there are libraries we wrote for        AA> the program.              I'll have a looksee at them all.               AA> I may try a Rust library and give the app sound effects. But if        AA> that means too much bloat for your tastes, I'll avoid that! :)              Knock yourself out. I have sound on two of the machines - this one and       x86_64-heatsink-linux-gnu - both of which have the alsa mixer available to the       'linux' terminal as well as fbdev2 if you REALLY want to get fancy with the       output. I cannot get the unicode playing cards enabled on the 'linux'       terminal to display (yet) but they could work in a xterm which I do have on       x86_64-motorshed-linux-gnu. ;-) Check out http://www.unicode.o       g/charts/PDF/U1F0A0.pdf if you wish to see what they look like.               AA> These days, I play 0 A.D. a few hours a week against the AI with        AA> a friend of mine.              I have cpat handy on all three machines, which is a ncurses based solitaire       game. The default in cpat-1.4.1 is to use unicode but I just use 'cpat -a'       for colourized ascii output. I haven't tried it in xorg yet so I am unsure       what I'd have to do to get the unicode output. I'll try that later if you're       curious.              Life is good,       Maurice              ... Don't cry for me I have vi.       --- GNU bash, version 5.0.18(1)-release (x86_64-motorshed-linux-gnu)        * Origin: Pointy Stick - Ladysmith BC, Canada (1:153/7001.2989)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 120/340 123/130 153/7001 154/10 30 40       SEEN-BY: 154/50 700 203/0 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 201 702 229/101 310       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 452 616 664 240/77 5138 5832 5853 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 280/464 5003 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1 2432/390       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 2454/119 3634/12 5020/545       PATH: 153/7001 154/10 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
