altitude on Ubuntu

[Dre__]

Is there a way to play altitude on Ubuntu?

It should install and run fine -- just download the linux version from http://altitudegame.com -- I installed it on my local Ubuntu machine without incident.

Are you having a specific problem on installation or at run time?

I'm extremely new to ubuntu so I don't realy know how to install it. When I download the linux version, I get the file "altitude.sh". When I double click it, it get a message saying "This link needs to be opened with an application"

[lamster]

You probably need to make the file executable first -- just right click the file and make sure it's "executable" by you. Or on a command prompt
chmod u+x altitude.sh (to make it executable)
./altitude.sh (to run it)

Thx alot it installed and runs fine. But there's a problem running it in window mode. It doesn't have a tittlebar to drag the window. Controls and everything in fullscreen works fine.

While I know this may make lam's face explode, I for one would love to play on android. It's all java, shouldn't be that big of a translation

When's the port to Xbox so I can buy it on the marketplace?

altitude works perfectly on ubuntu in windowed mode for me

why would you use an alternative OS if you don't even know the basics

People like Steve are nice. They say **** that I don't want to say because it's unconstructive and reveals what a dick I am, but is so ****ing self evident that I mean argh.

yeah i'm like that.
I'm not being a dick though, it just doesn't make sense to me. I understand that everyone has to learn sometime, but don't make a gaming pc and put linux on it. It's like making a server out of a vista ultimate desktop with 2gig of ram.
