Available in AppImage format

Version 6 of Pasang Emas has been released. The user interface got a major facelift, especially playing online. For the first time, in addition to the usual source package, the app is also available in AppFormat that you can readily run after downloading and setting its "execute" permission.

Enjoy!

Playing pasang on Raspberry Pi 3

I'm having fun with my new toy, namely a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian. Not surprisingly, it can be used to play Pasang Emas. Here are the steps:
  • Download Pasang Emas from pasang-emas.sourceforge.net (the latest release file is pasang-emas-5.2.0.tar.xz).
  • Unzip/extract the downloaded file.
  • Inside a command line terminal, go to the unzipped folder. In my case, I used this command:

        $ cd Downloads/pasang-emas-5.2.0/

  • Then, install all dependencies. The following command should do the work:

        $ sudo apt install build-essential gtk+-3.0 yelp itstool libxml2-utils

  • Then build and install Pasang Emas using the following commands:

        $ ./configure
        $ make
        $ sudo make install
Now, the irritating part. While you can now start the game by typing "pasang-emas" on the command line terminal, the main desktop menu will only be updated to show the new Pasang Emas entry after... sigh... rebooting. No, Pasang Emas is not guilty here.

Anyway, enjoy!

Deluxe edition of pasang

I'm not in the habit of endorsing or advertising commercial products in this blog, but I have to mention this wonderful rendition of pasang by nestorgames: https://nestorgames.com/#pasangdeluxe_detail.

Feast your eyes on the masterpiece. Drool.

Package for Ubuntu

A Launchpad user, Anton Asche, created a personal package archive (PPA) for Pasang Emas. The link is
https://launchpad.net/~aasche/+archive/ubuntu/pasang-emas/+packages
Ubuntu users can add ppa:aasche/pasang-emas to their repository. Users from other distributions like Debian can download the deb package and install it using the command line:
# apt install ./pasang-emas_version_architecture.deb
Currently, Yelp (a help viewer) must be installed separately.

I'm grateful for this contribution. Hopefully, this will encourage more people to play Pasang Emas.
