Be sure to read the warning here:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel
After you've read that and still want to install the game..
You have to enable the extras-devel repository to find the game. You can read here how:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel#H...e_Extras-devel
After enabling, the list of installable apps is refreshed.
Then go to download and do a search for numpty. Click on it to install.
After installing, go to Application manager --> Application catalogs again and disable the extras-devel imediatly.

IMHO there can be a problem if you leave the extras-devel repository enabled and use updates from it or install other software from it. That's why i only enable it to install one piece of software and then disable it as fast as i can

Software is in -devel because it's not considered ready for general users by the developer. If you are concerned about your N900 and not willing to flash if something goes wrong, wait for the developer to decide it's ready, and put it in -testing, at the least. Only software in Extras is tested to be safe.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Great game, absolutely addicted to it. Having some issues with saved games though. When I try to launch the saved game file the game starts up then immediately quits. Anyone else having this issue and/or am I going about loading saved games incorrectly?

Awesome game..iv finished all the preloaded levels..by hook and by crook, quite literally..
I cant seem to get the user submitted levels to work on my n900 though..from
http://numptyphysics.garage.maemo.org/levels/
The level files are in the nph format (or zipped npz packs) whereas the preloaded level files show as npd in the n900 game folder..
Someone know how to go about this?
