By steering a marble ball through a labyrinth filled with sharp objects, pools of acid, and other obstacles, the player collects points. When the destination is reached you continue on to the next, more difficult level... unless the time runs out. -This Slackware package can include the music and/or extra levels available -at the trackballs home page: http://trackballs.sourceforge.net - -To add the music, download the file "trackballs-music-1.4.tar.bz2" -and save it in the same directory as the SlackBuild script. If using -a newer version of the music than 1.4, set MUSICVER in the environment -before running trackballs.SlackBuild. +The music and extra levels from older versions of trackballs are +now included in the package, so you don't have to download them +separately. -To add extra levels, download the level collections you want and place -them in the levels/ subdirectory before running trackballs.SlackBuild. The -script can handle levels in tar or zip format. Note that some of the -add-on levels offered on the web site are now included with the game -source (specificallly, "Box O' Fun", "Child of Tales", and "Castles" -are part of the main game now, and don't need to be added). Also note -that the "Six Levels" pack doesn't work with this version of the game. +Note: I didn't update this for many years, because newer releases +require newer video hardware (with OpenGL 3.3 support). If you're +unable to run the game because of old hardware, let me know (email +address in the .info file). |
