This is the reason why Linux isn't being pushed into and by the mainstream. If your apps are clones, then so is the rest - in the eyes of casual PC users: The majority of people who own a PC. This needs to stop and moe focus is getting companies with wallets to support your platform and they won't. Why? Because everyone else is playing Angry Birds and I have to play Mean Penguins.Ben Freyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12138656947908719425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-82242673515892534032011-04-18T17:36:44.769-05:002011-04-18T17:36:44.769-05:00Jeff,

The "Humble Forozenbyte Bundle" shows there's a lot to gain by supporting Linux. 1/4 of the sales are to Linux cutomers.. and the pay 3 times as much as Windows users ($12 compared to the $3-4 Windows users pay). If you break that down that means that the Linux earnings alltogether are more than the earnings from Windows users!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-60674819876237116182011-04-16T23:36:53.628-05:002011-04-16T23:36:53.628-05:00LOL @ "Furious Cows" - BNL had that one ...LOL @ "Furious Cows" - BNL had that one first.

This game is fun but pretty simple, just need a small physics engine. Why not create "Angry Penguins"? And instead of some levels have a level editor. You can create a level by specifying the penguins you start with and setting the type of blocks and mobs. Instead of pork lets go with beef and beat cows.

The problem, in part, lies with you. You have to be willing to bypass the developers by locating or developing an alternative to their software. Here is an alternative to Angry Birds that plays well on a Flash (or Gnash?) enabled browser on Linux:<br /><br />http://armorgames.com/play/6137/crush-the-castle-2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-84095772389305914342011-04-16T09:07:54.677-05:002011-04-16T09:07:54.677-05:00I wonder if the GPL is an issue?I wonder if the GPL is an issue?Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04732052814850525574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-81303014229069663802011-04-16T07:39:53.170-05:002011-04-16T07:39:53.170-05:00I have the same issue with the college I am attend...I have the same issue with the college I am attending. We study Linux, we have to pass Linux courses to be able to pass our overall course of study, but they don't support Linux in the IT department! I use Linux on the desktop and laptop but getting information on how to log into the VPN isn't given. <br /><br />Another thing that bothers me is this, installed on all the computers in the school there are both MS Office and OpenOffice, but we have to hand in our assignments in .doc format and if .odt is given, we are told full out that we will receive an F on the assignment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
