1. Update to xscrabble 2.12 2. Fix typo in pkg-descr and trim trailing blanks "You might be able to improve upon this" This port does something I don't like: it installs an empty, unwritable scrabble_scores file in a directory whose contents shouldn't be modified. Players then need to override the app-defaults by placing a XScrabble.scorefile: /path/to/scrabble_scores line in $HOME/.Xdefaults (or $HOME/.Xresources, whatever). Wouldn't it make more sense to create a new, empty, writable score file under /var/games (if it doesn't exist) upon package installation; make the app-defaults file reference that; on deinstall, remove /var/games/scrabble_scores if it is empty or print a message indicating this file needs to be deleted manually in order to remove all traces?

To run:
|
|
|
|
Simply type xscrabble. This will bring up the setup box which will allow
|
|
you to enter the names and displays and other info for the game to wish
|
|
to play. Then click on the Start Game button, (or Load Previous if you're
|
|
restarting a game). The main program, xscrab, will then be automatically
|
|
called with the appropriate options.
|
|
|
|
The game is saved after every turn (in "~/.xscrabble.save" of the
|
|
person running it) and can be restarted by running xscrabble, entering
|
|
exactly the same info, and hitting the Load Previous button.
|

|
|
This was a student project, and there are not likely to be any future
|
|
releases.

|
|
Have fun,
|
|
|
