Yeah, and there is a group of people starting an Open Tetrinet project, so the protocol gets some new development. It would break compatibility with the Windows client, but they also plan to write a new, free one. supports tetrinet, but I doubt it. I don't know if gtetrinet /really/ requires GNOME (it says so on its readme and the package does require the GNOME libs), Quadra doesn't. As said, it's pretty much a self contained package. Removing the GNOME libs dependency is in the TODO list for Gtetrinet, afaict. It sounds like you like tetris, perhaps you could take a look at Quadra and point out if it's really worth the effort. My naive non-tetris-fan experience suggests people who like tetris would like this game. But my naive non-tetris-fan experience is turned into nothingness after seeing what tetrinet is. I'll have a look at Quadra, but if I have no time to play tetrinet now, I doubt that would change for this other game. -- Jordi Mallach Pérez || [EMAIL PROTECTED] || Rediscovering Freedom, aka Oskuro in|| [EMAIL PROTECTED] || Using Debian GNU/Linux Reinos de Leyenda || [EMAIL PROTECTED] || http://debian.org http://sindominio.net GnuPG public information: pub 1024D/917A225E telnet pusa.uv.es 23 73ED 4244 FD43 5886 20AC 2644 2584 94BA 917A 225E pgpeKk3OIS0BQ.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi, MEM == Marcelo E Magallon [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: MEM Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist MEM Hi, MEM It be nice if someone packages Quadra for Debian. It's a MEM tetris clone with single and multiuser modes, playable over MEM tcp/ip, featuring smooth graphics, worldwide high score lists, MEM servers and what not. Is it significantly different to Tetrinet? I know that gtetrinet is packaged; what's more, it is licenced under the GPL. Regards, Edward. -- Edward C.

Again, I'm not a tetris fan, but as far as I can see, the differences are pretty much a look and feel thing. Quadra is fullscreen and as far as I looked at it it's not themable as gtetrinet. I don't know if it supports tetrinet, but I doubt it. I don't know if gtetrinet /really/ requires GNOME (it says so on its readme and the package does require the GNOME libs), Quadra doesn't.
