"Never before has collecting mushrooms been this mildly entertaining. At least not in outer space. It's more of a lifestyle than a game, really. Now with graphics and sound, too!"

Seriously though, we like to think the game as a space-flying-mushroom-picking-simulator. Well no, "Those Funny Funguloids!" is actually a nice little piece of entertainment. You collect mushrooms, bring them back to your home base and profit! That's the basic idea in a nutshell. It has smooth, appealing 3d graphics and nice atmospheric sound effects. Go ahead and try it out - it has sounds too!

Those Funny Funguloids needs Ogre version 1.4.1 to run.

A lot of work has gone into making Funguloids work well on GNU/Linux.

See the thread here for more details:

Andres Mejia from the Debian pkg-games team has been working on this already, I would encourage you to join efforts with him, as maintaining this separately in Ubuntu leads to more work and more problems.

[Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen (ralf-nieuwenhuijsen)]

It's in Debian. Can we still sync for gutsy?

http://packages.debian.org/lenny/funguloids
http://packages.debian.org/sid/funguloids

1) it impacts no other packages
2) it should Just Work (tm)
3) it is from a trusted source (debian) .. hence code review for security and stability issues impacting other packages should be unnessesary

[Andrew Fenn (andrewfenn)]

I was wondering if this had been included in Gutsy. I guess not, this is a great game!

[Andres Mejia (amejia1)]

I'm sure this sync will have to wait until the freeze is lifted.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess#head-270aec6c362dfd04656c6c9df6d14fcc2347ab7f for freeze exceptions.

Builds fine on hardy, but cannot install due to an unsatisfied dependency on ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager. I suspect a sync is close, but there's a little more preparation required. I've unsubscribed ubuntu-universe-sponsors for the time being: please resubscribe when the package may compile and install smoothly.

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

SYNC Request ACK'd now that ogre-contrib has been accepted into hardy.
