== REGISTRATION DETAILS ==

Full Name:
----------
  *SDLjump*

System Group Name:
-----------------
  *sdljump*

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software &amp; documentation

License:
-------- 
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  SDLjump is a simple game where your goal is to keep jumping to upper
falling platforms in order to avoid touching the lower part of the screen.
Despite being written from scratch, it is inspired by Xjump and tries to
emulate its game logic accurately, as well as adding new features that Xjump
lacked:
- Multiplayer mode (up to four players, not networked)
- Smooth graphics possible (but xjump style as well)
- Different themes are available
- Can use OpenGL for rendering
- Replays (Already coded but not released yet)
- Sounds (In preparation)

The project is already hosted at sourceforge and can be downloaded here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sdljump

The game is already included in Debian GNU/Linux, Gentoo, Ubuntu, and many
other distributions.

It is proven that runs with no problems in GNU/Linux and Windows(Mingw), but
must work on any SDL supported platform. It is written in C and compiles
without problems with GCC.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  - SDL (http://www.libsdl.org)
- SDL_Image (http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/)
- SDL_Mixer (http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/)
- GL & GLU (http://www.mesa3d.org/ would be enough as you can also use the
software render)

Other Comments:
---------------
  As I said, the project is already hosted at Sourceforge. However, I wanted
to move to Savannah for two reasons:
- Idelogical reasons: It is the best way of supporting Free Software, the GPL
license (specially the polemical third version) and the GNU project.
- Technical reasons: Sourceforge's webpage is full of advertisement.
Sourceforge services are often down or slow. SF page is very heavy. Dokuwiki
doesn't work at SF's hosting service.

I suppose that this game would enter the Non-gnu section. I don't know if you
accept games in the GNU project, but if you do, I wouldn't mind chaging the
game's name to GNUjump.
