Hi.
The most important thing to review is rights. This package assumes that all score-files and save-games are placed in /var/tmp/bsd-games. The first user owns the files, and the wrapper script do `chmod ug+w`. If the SETGUID approach, despite the games age is better, i'll rework this. Though sys-admin (or the first user) can simply change the permissions, or group to restrict the access.

Thank you for the patch.

Is it possible to create save-games in ~/.local/share/XXX/ instead?

Also, considering the bsd-games-add-word-list.patch file, would it be
possible to use "miscfiles" package as an input instead? It also
provides and English words list.

Regards,

Since no one complained, I guess the answer is "yes" :)

Could you send a complete patch? (Or maybe I missed it, this was a long
time ago!)

Honestly there are none yet, but i'm working on that. I'm bad at programming for now. The last idea was to use a chdir() instead, and change the original variables from "path/to/x" to just "x".

Hello again.

I'd received an advice to send a patch in the best working state i have already,
and then add the games that aren't working.

The all games should work, but hack and phantasia. Some games currently can't write
a score files, but this isn't criticall.

I'll continue to thinking about, and search for advices on how to do things in the User's HOME,
or something similar: be that "getpwid()" stuff i'd seen on stackoverflow, or just a
"chdir(getenv("SOME_ENV_VAR"));".

Regards, Vitaliy.

I'm sorry, i'm forget to run both the `guix lint` and the code indentation checker.
I'll fix it.

That is a "final" version. All games are works, the wrapper script works, and no unnecessary changes
were introduced to the games' code in the end. They're configured to search in the current dir, and the
wrapper (a bash script) cares about the files that should be copied from the Store, and cd's to the
BSD_GAMES_DIR (and ask the User to set this variable if it's unset). It's also can use HACKDIR if the game
started is "hack".

This should be gnu/packages/games.scm (bsd-games): New variable.

You need to reference all those patches in "gnu/local.mk" file. Could
you send an updated patch?

Note that I did that, but some games still fail to run, e.g., phantasia
and hack.

Pity. What errors are output?

How i do start the games:

cd git/guix
guix environment --pure guix
./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make -j2
./pre-inst-env guix environment --ad-hoc bsd-games
phantasia
--->
Guix: Please set up the BSD_GAMES_DIR variable.
Examples:
export BSD_GAMES_DIR=/var/multiplayer
export BSD_GAMES_DIR=~/.local/share/bsd-games
You can place this in ~/.bashrc or a similar file for Your shell.
For multiplayer this directory should be writable for all players.

BSD_GAMES_DIR=~/bsd-dir phantasia
--->
"You've been caught raping and pillaging"
"You are attacked by Kobold"
