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!

thanks for the great game, runs nicely on my n810

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?

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).

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?
