######### REGISTRATION DETAILS ######### 

Full Name:
----------
  GNOME Columns

System Group Name:
-----------------
  gnome-columns

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software & documentation

License:
-------- 
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  gnome-columns is a game. Currently written in a very poor Objective-C, I 
am in the process of re-writing in pure C. It uses OpenGL to draw the
gameboard.

In spite of the name, it is not integrated with Gnome at the moment. I am
refactoring the game to make it a Gnome program, though. Mostly, it'll use
gconf, and maybe a wizard or two for configuration, along with the standard
array of menu items.

I started the game as a learning tool. I wanted to play with Objective-C
(having used it years ago on the NeXT) and learn OpenGL. The game itself is
essentially a re-implementation of xjewel, with prettier graphics and a few
changes and additions to gameplay.

The current source code is at: http://paperdove.org/gnome-columns.tar.bz2

It should compile cleanly on any GNU/Linux box with libGL, libGLU, libSDL,
and objc. But I make no promises, as I am not the greatest with autoconf /
automake quite yet (yet another set of tools I am learning).

The graphics are all png, and all are copyright by me. The entire thing,
including graphics (and sounds, when I finally get to that point) are
licensed under GPLv2.

Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Oh! I thought that was technical, so that's where I put it. As a list:

libSDL
libGL
libGLU
Gnome libraries

Those are common, but probably not found on a minimum Free OS.
