Hi

Xgame is a Perl script released under the GPL which enhances gameplay under Linux/Unix.

Xgame launches your game in a separate X session. This allows gamers to switch between their desktop and their game with ease. The new X session does not run a desktop or window manager. Furthermore, since the game is run in a separate X session, the resolution and color depth of the desktop and game may be different.

the ebuild

IMO its better to force users to be in group games to run anything game
related. Especially since xgame runs a new X server.

Thanks for the Ebuild!

After some minor clean-ups, I've added xgame to games-util. I decided to put the executable into /usr/games/bin, which is more consistent when only members of the games group are able to run it.
