Rocks'n'Diamonds

Just created my first 2 levels, and I'd like to submit them for feedback, but I'm not sure how ... My OS is linux, if that makes a diff. Please help!

Hi springli, welcome to the forum!

To share your levels, put the folder that contains them in a zip file, then upload it to the RnD File Archive (or anywhere we could download it from).

Then report the link in this thread (or another, new one) so that most of forum users will notice it

Addon: if you don't know where the files are stored, take a look in your documents folder. For example, my levels are in "D:\Documents\Rocks'n'Diamonds\levels\" (my OS is WinXP, but it makes no big difference)

Hello Springli, welcome to the R'n'D forum! :-)

Well, in this case it does make a difference, as Springli uses a Unix system (the following is therefore also true for Mac OS X):

While you have a "My Documents" folder on Windows, you have your "home" directory on Unix, but applications usually use a sub-directory in the style of "~/.<application>" on Unix to store their data. Therefore, in this case it is the "~/.rocksndiamonds" directory in your home directory.

Unfortunately, many Unix systems tend to hide directories that start with a dot, which is sometimes wanted -- Windows would do the same, if I would use the "right" directory for application specific data (it really wouldn't be easy to find for the average user, therefore I used "My Documents/Rocks'n'Diamonds/..." on Windows systems).

So, you can find all your levels in "~/.rocksndiamonds/levels/..." and your tapes in "~/.rocksndiamonds/tapes/..."!

Just put them into an archive (zip, tar/gz, whatever you like best), upload them to Zomis' R'n'D file archive and use the forum here to tell the world about it! :-)

Hope that helps! :-)

If you use Konqueror as your file manager (= if you use KDE), there should be an option like "View -> Show hidden files" or something like that. I'm not sure how to show hidden files in Nautilus (GNOME).

Ooops! Sorry
This is what happen when I speak about things I'm not sure of
I should have wrote "my OS is WinXP, but it *should* make no big difference"

No problem. ;-)

I think this is also something for my just started "R'n'D FAQ" thread... :)

thanks for the help- I'll post them in a few!
