fastrgv / adagate Goto Github PK

Hi,

First, your games looks great! but ...

1. I do not know how you compressed your tar.gz, but it took more than 1 hour to uncompress. This is super un-welcoming for a stranger that want to give a try at your code/game. Bandwidth is cheap these days, maybe compress less and things with be smoother for users. (Uncompress should takes seconds at most)

2. Why dont you provide code + build instructions? Github is not made for binaries.

3. I will inspect your tar.gz archive, but I might not even execute it if I feel your package may be insecure to me. This is one of the reasons why most people prefer source code on github. We can see what the code will do once executed.

ok, keep up the good work.

I followed the steps that the readme file told me to do.
wget https://github.com/fastrgv/AdaGate/releases/download/v6.1.3/ag15apr17.tar.gz
tar -xzvf ag15apr.tar.gz
mv agate adagate_install_directory
cd adagate_install_directory
./adagate_gnu

When the game starts, the first thing that I see is water. I tried to turn around to see if there's anything else, but the game doesn't react to the touch-pad nor the mouse, but I could turn with "A" and "D" keys. There was nothing behind me, just more water and the sky seems to be black(I couldn't look up because there was no key I found that rotated my view up and down.). I swam a bit with "W" and "S" keys and I could hear in some zones water splashing while I was swimming, but in others there was no splashing of water what makes me think that there is land, it is just not displayed, I also sank a bit when I swam in the zones where I could hear the splashing.

The output of ./adagate_gnu is:

You have a repo hero with a license and some images, with a link to a tarbal. But the tarball doesn't have a license file it appears. Why not put the source in the repo, with the license together?
