gtkMaggot - NEWS
gtkMaggot is an improved tron game.

Well, this software is in a serious bitrot condition, it requires a port to GTK 2 or GTK 3.

However someone managed to play with it recently, if you really want to try here are the step by step instructions to make it works:

Installation:
  1. If you do not already have gtk installed, download and install the following programs:
    (If you are not sure, skip this section since you probably do have it installed)
    ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/glib-1.2.0.tar.gz
    ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/gtk+-1.2.0.tar.gz
  2. If you already have a version of gtk installed and you are using Debian on an i386 machine, use dpkg to install the following packages (not in order):
    http://archive.kernel.org/debian-archive/debian/pool/main/g/gtk+1.2/libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18_i386.deb
    http://archive.kernel.org/debian-archive/debian/pool/main/g/gtk+1.2/libgtk1.2-common_1.2.10-18_all.deb
    http://archive.kernel.org/debian-archive/debian/pool/main/g/glib1.2/libglib1.2_1.2.10-17_i386.deb
    http://archive.kernel.org/debian-archive/debian/pool/main/g/glib1.2/libglib1.2-dev_1.2.10-17_i386.deb
    http://archive.kernel.org/debian-archive/debian/pool/main/g/gtk+1.2/libgtk1.2-dev_1.2.10-18_i386.deb
  3. Download and install audiofile 1.5 (later versions most likely will not work):
    http://audiofile.68k.org/audiofile-0.1.5.tar.gz
  4. Download and install esound:
    http://www.tux.org/~ricdude/esound-0.2.8.tar.gz
  5. Before compiling esound, open the file "esddsp.c" in a text editor and add the following line immediately after the license notice:
    #define _GNU_SOURCE
  6. Download and install gtkMaggot:
    http://download.tuxfamily.org/gtkmaggot/downloads/gtkmaggot_0.2.0.tar.bz2
Usage:
  1. Start gtkMaggot by typing gtkmaggot in the command line
  2. Click on one or more colours and then click "Go ! :-)"
Controls
Red: A,Q
Yellow: S,D
Purple: B,N
Turquoise: Down and right arrow keys
(Note that Green and Dark Blue were unplayable on my keyboard.)
