Re: New Game: OpenTyrian 2D space shoot-emup!
 

were permissions not automatically granted to me because I unzipped it on the laptop and then moved it over?

Thanks for the magic chmod +x permission grant!

I think that is exactly what happened.

you are welcome.

thanks for the great game, runs nicely on my n810 :D

Is there a way to add this to the applications menu at all? From what i can gather (being a linux n00b) it has something to do with the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/hildon/ (think that was the location).

Can i create a file and place it in there which will then add this to the menu?

Re: New Game: OpenTyrian 2D space shoot-emup!
 

Yes, you can copy one of the others in there and modify it. You can choose to remove the dbus service line or to create a service too (though it is tricky to get it running).

Re: New Game: OpenTyrian 2D space shoot-emup!
 

thanks for the reply, does anyone have any help with editing the file?

I tried opening it in notes, but didnt work, so i managed to copy one of the .desktop files to another location and rename it to a .txt file, open it in notes, but not entirely sure what to enter in there.

Plus, when i tried to rename it to a .desktop file and copy it back to the hildon directory it wouldnt let me :(

Maybe i need the gainroot tool was it?

Re: New Game: OpenTyrian 2D space shoot-emup!
 

Yup, should be root to these things :)

Re: New Game: OpenTyrian 2D space shoot-emup!
