The diff to the ports/games revision 502690, according to the porters handbook.

"You wake up on a sunny August morning with birds singing, and the air fresh and clear. However, your joints are stiff and you have not woken up in your bedroom as you would have expected. Trying to recall what happened the night before, you manage to piece together a few brief glimpses to give the following account:"


This is the beginning of "The Pawn", a classic text adventure from Magnetic Scrolls. Since I loved those games when I grew up, I created an interpreter called "dMagnetic", to play it on modern hardware. It can also be used to play "The Guild of Thieves", "Jinxter", "Fish!", "Myth", "Corruption" and "Wonderland". The graphics are being rendered in glorious ANSI art, so that you play them on the text console, as well as an xterm window.


Anyways, since I would also love to see more people playing those games, I took the liberty of creating a port for FreeBSD. You can find the svn diff attached to this mail, but you can also download the port directly from github: https://github.com/dettus/ports_and_packages


The revision I checked out was the head revision 502690. (svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/games/)

Please tell me if it has any chance of becoming part of your ports tree. It would be wonderful.
