What do I need to play the game in Ubuntu 7.10?

[ouch]

I use CodeBlocks myself for both windows and ubuntu. It's sort of like a microsoft visual studio knockoff. It also has the best integrated GUI developer for wxWidgets built into it. It's also based on wxWidgets itself so that no matter what platform you have it on it looks the same and all the menu choices are in the same location.

as a bonus it automaticly can detect and configure itself for varius compilers. like MSVC versions 6-9 and mingw, varius built in unix OS compilers, and so on.

it also has a project wizard that works kinda like MSVC's wizards which allow you to use semi-automated templates for varius app types.

oh, it's also open source, if, that's not your thing you can also just make plugins for it to add in whatever you want.

I highly recomend it, simplifies everything yet allows you to intimately customize everything to your needs. I mean come on, even Microsoft hasn't made anything like that.

however I recomend getting a nightly build instead of getting the download from the download section on the website. You can find the nightly builds here: (despite them being test builds I have yet to have codeblocks crash on me)
