I was not acting as a smart ass, but trying to solve an issue.

Yes, I haven't read the readme, until now, because I find it striking
that you offer sources to your game, but oppose people using it. Is
like trying to be a bachelor and married at the same time, if I may be
allowed the comparison.

What can I do with it?

eddy at merci ~ $ uname -a
Linux merci 2.6.14-merci #1 Sun Nov 13 00:48:01 EET 2005 ppc GNU/Linux

or, to make it more clear, in case is not obvious:
$ dpkg-architecture
DEB_BUILD_ARCH=powerpc
DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS=linux
DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU=powerpc
DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=powerpc
DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu
DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=powerpc-linux-gnu
DEB_HOST_ARCH=powerpc
DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=linux
DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=powerpc
DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=powerpc
DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu
DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=powerpc-linux-gnu

or

$ dpkg-architecture | grep powerpc | wc -l
8
$ dpkg-architecture | grep i386 | wc -l
0
