Quadromania

Introduction

Quadromania is a board game. Your task is to restore the originating board filled with red stones. The computer will pick a named amount of 3×3 tile sets and will flip the colours of the selected tiles.

This means a red tile will become green, a green one the next colour in the amount of colours, red again in the simplest case. You select the amount of colours to use and the amount of initial rotations.

In the running game click on the center point of a 3×3 tile set to exchange that selected set following the rules above. Restore the board full of red stones before you reach the limit of maximum turns.

Quadromania is a work in progress. I currently lack the time to do a decent development on it. However the current alpha release is somewhat playable and working.

Mount ISO image as virtual CDROM

This little servicemenu allows you to mount and unmount ISO images as a virtual CDROM via the loopback device of your Linux kernel.
The commands will prompt you for your root password.
To install this service menu, simply copy the .desktop file to ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenues/ and restart Konqueror. Additionally you have to create the required mount point for the virtual CDROM as root. The default pathname is /media/isoimage but you can change it in the desktop entry file with any texteditor.
