[Game] Adventures of Shuggy

Adventures of Shuggy

Jump'n'Run, Platformer.
Basic. But varies concepts from level to level.
The first set of rooms aren't that hard. I could beat them without problems quickly, like half an hour. Nice variance of mechanics. And still playable with just one hand.
Still, some level tend to drag on too much. Especially those, where you have to wait on things to happen. And if you die short before gathering the last item, you will have to do it again and wait... wait... wait... Still, you get through them rather quickly if you are careful.

[Game] 12 is Better Than 6



Starting the game on Linux didn't work first. With the following launch options it should work:
R600_DEBUG=mono %command%
or
LC_ALL=C %command%

Not much to say, just played like half an hour.
Liked the art-style.
Didn't like the controls/mechanics (too much button combo smashing to fire your guns, reload, switch or exchange weapons), view (narrow; has extra key for extended view), doors bugging around. Game also error-crashed one time.

[QDBUS] Create tabs in yakuake and pidgin, not dolphin

QDBus is an easier way to interact with DBus then using dbus-send. There is also a GUI qdbusviewer that might help finding and executing stuff. But qdbus and grep seem to be a bit better at that for me.

Executing qdbus will show all services that you can talk to via dbus. Given a servicename it will print possible paths and sub-paths. And when a path is also appended then it will print out methods and signals which can be called or registered to. The output will include the names and types of parameters and the return-type.
