Hiya all,

TL;DR: if your game is in this list, you have a week to help us get it running!  We'll be wrapping up judging *VERY SHORTLY*!

This post is way overdue... I know.  Anyway, I'm posting here a list of all games I've had trouble judging.  I'm a bit further ahead than BartK but I assume any game I've been able to get running I can help BartK get running also.  So here's all the games I've had trouble building.  If it helps to know, I've been working on a debian testing machine, and also testing with the VM.

Alchemist

I can't get this game to run it seems... does it work with openjdk, or just the proprietary sun libraries?  It has to run with all free software to qualify..

Blob mobs

Is there any way to get this thing running without having to do it without some sort of obscure IDE?  A short bash script to compile everything would be appreciated.

In addition, this game has licensing problems: the licensing is not marked.  Please see: http://lpc.opengameart.org/content/properly-licensing-your-liberated-pix...

... and create a new upload somewhere with that fix intact.

Blood moon

I couldn't find any clear compile instructions.  Again, a short bash script to compile this and get it running would be helpful.

Bright Flame Tactics

Case sensitive filenames means I'm having trouble getting this running.

Chickenpix

License problems!  See my Blob Mobs post.

In addition, I'm hitting:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'K:/soft/Python27/lib/UserDict.py

I'm not running windows, and it seems weird to expect a K drive...  so... :\

Dunteon Tactics

It doesn't seem to want to use my system irrlicht.

I'm really overwhelmed when trying to compile this.  Is there a bash script that can set up all the linking for me with all the local libraries without me having to install a bunch of non-system-package libraries directly?  I'm very hesitant to do that.

GNU Versus Zombie Rotten Tomatoes

Running into this error when compiling the dependency splashouille:

Song of Blood

I tried following http://opengameart.org/forumtopic/for-anyone-trying-to-play-song-of-blood but..

tomcat *.29 no longer exists at the URL in the script; tried switching to .32, get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: net/pennyblood/server/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Could be from using the free (non-sun) java stack? Not sure?

The Longest Road

File that comes with it says:

: Building and running

: if you are on linux/mac you need to compile the native c code in jni first...

: after that its smooth sailing

: have fun!

I have no idea what this means.

No idea where to go from here :\

=====================================================

That's it!  Any help building the above is appreciated.

I'll be making a relevant blogpost shortly.
