I woud love to help you with the logo and website. P.S. Are there any legal issues (trademarks etc.) to use the word 'pygame' in the title? On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 8:25 PM, Richie Ward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The PyGameDB project which has similarity's to the commercial platform > "Steam" is

Er, I forgot to add that part of my idea included running the thing in its own user, so your other files were safe. I wonder if Ubuntu would want to automatically set up something like that when you install it? On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 3:06 PM, Dan Krol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ah userland, exc

This is fantastic, I didn't know this was in the works. I was always thinking, for open source games to take off, there needs to be a good catalog of games that people can browse, and it has to be flashy, but it has to show off the big advantage of open source games, which is that unlike other cata

Not to point out the obvious or anything, but why would you not just use pygame.org, which already has a big database of games. Just add an API for getting the metadata you need and be done with it. --Noah > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behal
