Description Gustavo Ribeiro Alves 2004-09-26 16:39:02 UTC
Transcend is a new game. It would be nice if there is ebuild for it.

Description from the site: 

Transcend can best be described as retro-style, abstract, 2D shooter. The graphics are geometrical, and the pace is sometimes frenzied.

Two features set Transcend apart from other games. First, its dynamic graphical engine, which can smoothly morph from one complex shape to another in realtime, produces striking displays. Combining these dynamic shapes with subtle randomizations ensures that each new play through a Transcend level is visually different from the last. The second novel feature is Transcend's musical power-up system. As you play through a level, you are simultaneously assembling an abstract visual collage and arranging a unique piece of music. Transcend merges video games with pure art---it can be viewed either as a game or as a multimedia sculpture.

The game compiles and runs from source under gentoo.

I don't know the ebuild system enought to build one from start (compiling it is not just runing ./configure make, you have to run ./configure into 3 diferent directories and then run make into each one).
