Transformice is a multiplayer game, where you play as a little mouse out to get cheese! With just over million of players, this deserve rewards. Sadly, me and a few people who play the game have problems setting up the Linux standalone. So, i decided to make my own with Node.js Electron. It's simple, easy, and open source!!
Installing the app is quite simple. Open up a terminal (CTRL + T) and type in these commands.
#If arch shows x86_64 then do this
URL='http://alicebot.pw/deb/transformice_x64.deb'; FILE=`mktemp`; wget "$URL" -qO $FILE && sudo dpkg -i $FILE; rm $FILE
#otherwise do this
URL='http://alicebot.pw/deb/transformice_x32.deb'; FILE=`mktemp`; wget "$URL" -qO $FILE && sudo dpkg -i $FILE; rm $FILE```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install nodejs
git clone https://github.com/NekoTony/Transformice-Linux.git
cd Transformice-Linux
npm install
After that, you can run the app like this:
npm start
If you would like it in a desktop application with electron-package then run this:
npm run-script package
Make sure you edit the scripts/package field in package.json to the right data. Here's a template:
"scripts": {
"start": "electron main.js",
"package": "npm install --save-dev electron-packager && electron-packager ./ --linux --out {folder to save desktop application with.} --version 1.0.1 --overwrite --icon={replace me with directory to icon.png in the source file.}"
}
Here's a list of Linux Dists that work well with this application:
Ubuntu 16.04 Xerial x86 - Worked well with @NekoTony (Proof: I tested it on there)
If you use another version of linux, **this doesn't mean it doesn't work on your version. You can Pull Request the README.md and add your version of Linux if it works for you. Template:
Linux Version - Work well with @Username (Proof: url proof)
