= Registration Details =

* Name: *Noob-a-Tron-The-Game*
* System Name:  *noob-a-tron*
* Type: non-GNU software and documentation
* License: GNU General Public License v2 or later (100% free software, the
graphics are my own work (the graphics origin is also stated in the tar
archive))



 Description: 
Noob-a-Tron is a proof of concept program which will eventually become a
full-featured 2d game. Noob-a-Tron exclusively uses c++, it also uses SDL2
(the only required library, see libsdl.org). The current purpose of this
project is to help beginners understand c++ games programming in Linux. c++ is
not as scary as it's often claimed! The advantage of my project is that it's
fresh; whereas many Linux game projects are 10 or 15 years old. Noob-a-Tron is
a 2016/2017 project which uses c++11 features like "ranged for-loops". The
graphics are primitive but they are original (my own content). To compile
Noob-a-Tron you must use the -std=c++11 parameter and don't forget to link
SDL2! Noob-a-Tron uses the K&R code style and anyone can ask questions by
emailing me. I have measured the CPU efficiency of this code and it will not
eat 50% of your CPU while idle (though previous versions did hahaha). This
project was restarted about a dozen times throughout 2016 so it's pretty clean
now.


 Other Software Required: 
Name: libsdl A.K.A SDL2
License: SDL 2.0 is licensed as zlib
SDL 2.0 website: http://libsdl.org/
License website: http://www.gzip.org/zlib/zlib_license.html


 Other Comments: 
As of January 2017 I am hosting this project on my server in Auckland (New
Zealand)

Follow-up Comment #1:

Hello,

In the file where you specify the origin of the images, could you list them
explicitly
and add a copyright and licensing notice for them?

Also, you write in your source files that they are under GPLv3+, and
license.txt is GPLv3, but you submission says "GPLv2+"; is it a mistake in
your submission?

Follow-up Comment #2, task #14297 (project administration):

I've updated the license of the package, but it doesn't affect the original
submission; when approved, it will be GPLv3+.

Follow-up Comment #3, task #14297 (project administration):

I've now included a copyright for the 2 bitmap files. I also added a file with
my email address. The updates can be found via the same URL I initially used,
as well as on Savannah, because I uploaded a copy here too.

Follow-up Comment #5, task #14297 (project administration):

As a user, I'd prefer something more explicit than "files licensed as
GPL3"---this wording means that I shan't be able to use them under future
versions of the GPL, which is bad.

Could you add a notice in the form recommended by
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html?

I'm sorry I'm so pedantic, but there will likely be little check for our
policies after your package is approved, so you'll basically have to enforce
them by yourself.

Also, it would be nice if we spoke in this tracker rather than by email.

Maybe that's it?

Follow-up Comment #9, task #14297 (project administration):

Thank you, approving; I'd still recommend using the full text of notice as
suggested in the GPL HOWTO,
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

Happy hacking!

Whoops, my bad sir!  

Can I license bitmap files as GPL v3 or do I use Creative Commons?
