Hi all, I've updated grsync to grsync-maemo-0.2.1b (which has a somewhat cleaner interface and support for osso / dbus) and finished porting gtkmagnetic. The latter is a gtk+ GUI for magnetic, a free interpreter for Magnetic Scrolls (tm) textual / graphic adventures (do you remember The Pawn and Guild of Thieves back from the old Amiga days?). To play you'll need game data files which are publicly available from http://www.if-legends.org/~msmemorial/magnetic.htm (when asked to or when loading a new game, you must choose the file with the .mag extension). The original gtkmagnetic uses a text area to display both texts and user commands; to avoid user typing commands in the middle of the adventure text, its 'editable' property is set to FALSE. Of course this doesn't work on the N770, because an input widget which is not editable doesn't fire-up the virtual keyboard, so I changed this behaviour: you can write everywhere inside the widget, but commands are accepted only if written on the last line (at the prompt '>'). If anyone knows a way to programmatically pop up the vkb please let me know and I'll fix this!
