Personalització del Robots

You can modify the behaviour and appearance of the game by selecting Preferences under the Settings menu. This brings up a dialog with three tabs:

  • Game — This page allows you to choose the type of game you want to play. The drop-down box at the top of the page allows you to choose from a number of predefined games. You can't change these options in the middle of a game, so they will be disabled then. There are also several options at the bottom of the dialog:
    1. The safe moves option will help you to avoid being killed due to a mistake. If you try to make a move that would lead to your death when there is a safe move available, you will not be allowed to proceed. But be warned: if there was no safe move available, other than teleporting, the move will be allowed to proceed.
    2. There is also a “super safe mode”. If you select this, you get beeped when there is no safe move and your only option is to teleport out.
    3. If you select the sound checkbox the game will play sounds for various events throughout the game.
    4. The “Splats” checkbox selects whether you want the sound played and a small “Splat!” to appear on the screen.
  • Appearance — This page allows you to select the graphics used throughout the game from the list in the dropdown-box. You can also select the background colour from this tab.
  • Keyboard — This screen allows you to define your own keyboard controls. To select a different key for a command, double-click on the button for that command and then press the key you want to use.

Qualsevol canvi que realitzeu tindrà efecte immediatament i es desarà automàticament.

You can design your own graphics for the game if you want. The graphics files are found in $PREFIX/share/gnome-games/gnome-robots/pixmaps , where $PREFIX is the prefix into which GNOME was installed. This is usually either /usr or /usr/local.

Cada caràcter és de 16x16 píxels i n'hi ha 14 organitzats en un fitxer PNG amb una mida de 224x16 píxels. Podeu mirar els fitxers existents per a veure l'ordre en què han d'anar ordenats per a produir les seqüències d'animació adequades.

Any graphics files which are placed in the directory are auto-detected, so you don't need to alter any configuration files. You can also define your own game configurations by creating extra .cfg files which are stored in the $PREFIX/share/gnome-games/gnome-robots/games directory.
