Description from its web: ***** Bloboats is an arcade-like boat racing game contributing to the Assembly '06 game development competition in the hybrid spirit of SMB-like platform jumpers and elasto mania / xmoto like motocross-I'm-faster-than-you games. The objective of Bloboats is to reach MS Enterprise as fast as possible to save if from the hands of the terrible Tentacle Monsters of an Unknown Master and the same time beat your friend and laugh at his or her puny time. The journey starts from a place called Tutorial, somewhere in the United States, and somehow the player ends up in the famous HV-Arena of Helsinki. During the trip a number of MS Enterprises are saved, luckily, from the hands of the terrible Tentacle Monsters of an Unknown Master, who actually is your dad. Or then ain't. :-) ***
Created attachment 94103 [details] bloboats-1.0.1.ebuild Initial ebuild.
This is now at the Gentoo Sunrise overlay. You can find the latest ebuild jere: http://gentoo-sunrise.org/svn/reviewed/games-arcade/bloboats/
It works fine for me (on amd64 arch ;-)). Will this ebuild be added to "official" portage tree? Thanks for information
Created attachment 119884 [details] bloboats-1.0.1.ebuild Updated ebuild from Sunrise. This package has been in the overlay since 2006 August and has proven to work fine and being stable. I still have an obscure bug with redrawing after the window loses focus, but it's likely to be related to some other broken stuff on my system (since no one with any distro has managed to reproduce it) and it's not critical anyways. All feedback I recieved about this package was positive.

I have a blackscreen when I launch this game on amd64 but I hear the sound.
Now I can see the menu of the game but I don't know how to start "Play game" : cursors runs properly but [ENTER] or any other key let me on this menu... How to start the game ?
