linux native installation

[erase]

While there isn't a .air file to download directly from the knucklecracker.com site, you *can* extract the air file out of the windows executable (.exe) then use the native linux version of adobe air to play the game.

- download and install adobe air from http://get.adobe.com/air/
- mark the adobe air installer executable:
  $ chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
- run the adobe air installer as root:
  $ sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
- download the CreeperWorld installer exe file (ie CreeperWorld-0346.exe)
- open the installer exe with fileroller (in ubuntu, right click on the file and choose "Open with Archive Manager"
- extract the .air file (ie CreeperWorld-0346.air) to your desktop
- double click on the .air file to install it

the game will now run natively under linux.

saved games are located in ~/.appdata/CreeperWorld/

knucklecracker: perhaps you could distribute the .air file separately to make it easier?

incidently, i'm running the game under ubuntu 9.10 with an atom 1.6ghz processor and it's running fine. :)

Good to know. You have seen this thread, have you?

doh. my search didn't find that thread.

at any rate, performance seems a bit better with the native AIR over wine.
