FreeVikings Description

FreeVikings reimplements the DOS game Lost Vikings. FreeVikings game reimplements the DOS game Lost Vikings.One evening I was playing with toys like Emacs (my favourite text editor) and Ruby (my favourite high-level programming language) and I dreamed about playing one very nice game, Lost Vikings, on Linux. Without DOS emulator.If only I had the source code... I would change it to run on my favourite operating system. But it's a commercial game and it's manufacturers don't want to make it free, although it's rather old (1993). "Let you make it from scratch." I said to myself and started writing my first game in Ruby.Requirements:? To get freeVikings running you have to have installed Ruby, SDL library and it's extensions SDL_image, SDL_gfx and SDL_TTF. For Ruby you also need some extensions. RUDL (version equal or higher then 0.7), REXML, Log4r, and script. You can find them all in Ruby application archive - RAA. Actually you can have received some of them with your Ruby distribution (very generous is the Ruby one-click installer for Windows). What's New in This Release: · A corrupted file (preserving error already fixed before release 0.8) somehow got into 0.8. This release fixes that problem.
