[SLUG] Re: [activities] SLUG FebruaryMonthly Meeting - Python Game Programming *Tutorial*
Hello everyone, As promised here are links to everything I used on Friday: Presentation: http://docs.google.com/a/google.com/present/view?id=dfg992t3_1025kjx9sgw Punch the Monkey Code: http://github.com/mithro/punchit You can clone the whole repository with a: git clone http://github.com/mithro/punchit.git Space Invaders Code: http://github.com/mithro/invaders Again, you can clone the whole repository with a: git clone http://github.com/mithro/invaders.git If you have some problem with github, there is also a mirror at my blog ( http://blog.mithis.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi and http://blog.mithis.net/code ). Please note, this code is not how to make a *good* game - just how to make a game in a very short period of time :). Software Engineering principles have been pretty much thrown out the door to get this all working in such a short time.

Re: [SLUG] no speaker sound
Hi slug A while ago i had a sound issue on my Compaq CQ61-314TU. Compaq/HP Said they know about but cant fix it in Linux. i found how to fix in ubuntu but fedora does not use /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:. After a bit of reaching (GOOGLing) i found that the /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf: is the base sound configuration in Red Hat based systems. To fix the problem add these four lines to /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf: Then restart the computer to take affect. options snd slots=snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4 alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 Note: You may have to create the /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf: as it did not exist in my Fedora 12 Thanks to those reply i got Regards Daryl Thompson -Original Message- From: Daryl Thompson daryl.francis.thomp...@gmail.com To: slug@slug.org.au slug@slug.org.au Subject: [SLUG] no speaker sound Date: Sun, 24 Jan 2010 02:14:58 +1100 I brought a Compaq Presario CQ61-214TU and install Fedora 12. I have no Speaker Sound, i do have sound when i plug in a head set or external speaker. I have not tested the HDMI output yet as i don't have access to a DH TV with HDMI. I would like to use the internal speakers. Can any one help me please, the Google searches all relate to ubuntu and not much help on Fedora Thanks in advance Daryl -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
