Comments:
I was pretty confused when I got the "Open game file" view. (What game file? where? huh?). Some kind of notification needed. Or maybe game files could be loaded from the server automatically?
I can confirm that texts are not scrolling automatically so it makes it annoying to play.
@luca, IMO only link added to the notification would make the trick. So user doesn't need to surf to package page or google in order to find the game files.
@Timo P: I'm aware of the text scrolling issue, but it seems to me it's related to the gtk version shipped with Maemo5 and / or the HildonTextView widget, as the plain gtk version works just fine on my desktop - but this is just a speculation, I'm still investigating!
As per your second remarks, I'm not sure I get what you're suggesting: some sort of info dialog pointing to game file download (I can add it to the about dialog maybe) or what?
The textbox doesn't seem to scroll automatically and that makes playing really hard. should the link to game files be prompted as a notification when application starts without game files?
@Mustali Dalal: game files can be downloaded here (links at the bottom):
http://msmemorial.if-legends.org/magnetic.htm
can you point to place(s) where game files are available for download? are the files free or paid? couldn't find a download link on the msmemorial webpage.
