Hi,<br>
<br>
I finally got some time to set everything up for these things.<br>
<br>
A new version of sgt-puzzles is now in the repository[1], and also uploaded on<br>
<a href="http://opkg.org" target="_blank">opkg.org</a>[2]. There's now a new homepage[3] for it, and the code (for the build<br>
system, patches etc) is available in svn[4].<br>
<br>
This package includes a shell script that lets users disable/enable individual<br>
desktop icons, making it possible to reduce the number even without installing<br>
a launcher. It also includes some basic support for launchers, automatically<br>
removing the desktop icons when a compatible launcher is installed, except<br>
those icons that have been explicitly enabled (so you can have both a<br>
launcher, and your favorite games on the desktop for quick access).<br>
<br>
More details on the homepage[3].<br>
<br>
<br>
I've also created such a launcher, and packaged it separately. It is fairly<br>
simple, just displays a grid of plain buttons, but space is so limited due to<br>
the number of games that I'm not sure how to fit anything more fancy anyway.<br>
<br>
If someone wants to make a better launcher, there are details for the<br>
interaction between them on the homepage[3].<br>
<br>
The launcher is also available in the repository[1] and on <a href="http://opkg.org" target="_blank">opkg.org</a>[5], source<br>
is in an svn repo[6], and it has its own homepage[7] with more information.<br>
<br>
To make it easier to discover the launcher, the sgt-puzzles package suggests<br>
it - opkg apparently mentions suggestions when installing the package. :)<br>
<br>
<br>
One thing I haven't gotten the launcher to do yet, is single-instancing the<br>
games. I'm not sure what the best approach for that would be - looking for<br>
open X windows? looking for running processes? is there a standard way of<br>
doing this, that would work here? (keep in mind the launcher doesn't stay<br>
running after selecting a game, so looking at the process tree doesn't help.)<br>
On the other hand I'm not sure how important it is, either.<br>
