* Package name : galois Version : 0.5 Upstream Author : Gerardo Ballabio <galois-l...@nongnu.org> * URL : http://www.nongnu.org/galois/ * License : GPLv3+ Programming Lang: C++ Description : falling blocks game with many different game modes Galois is a computer game of the "falling blocks" type, but with unique features. Unlike most other games of that type, it is not limited to blocks made of four two-dimensional, square bricks: you can choose among several different brick shapes, blocks composed of more or fewer bricks, and even between two- and three-dimensional games. This package may replace ghextris which will possibly be removed from Debian because it depends on python-gtk2 which is going away. But even if ghextris is saved, I think Galois would be a valuable addition on its own, as it has many game modes that no other Tetris-like game has. I am the upstream author and I commit to support the Debian package too. I need sponsoring and plan to seek it from the Debian Games team -- I've already written to debian-devel-games and got encouraging feedback. Gerardo Ballabio
