Hi, I never released any debian package, but I tried to compile many games
on my Raspberry Pi / Raspbian computer.

I noticed some issues that I could fix. The most interesting thing
for you is probably that one of your raspiban/arm package doesn't work
at all (at least on my computer). This is asciijump.

I noticed that checking for <EOF> (end of file) on a "char" type wasn't
working and was leading to an infinite loop. I changed the code of the
latest version of asciijump (1.0.2 beta) as you can see it here:

  (please have a look at my blog : http://ttygames.wordpress.com/
  I would be happy)

and it could fix the game which seems now to work perfectly. Maybe the
maintainer of the package could have a look at that?

If you are interested about instructions for compiling any other game
mentionned in my blog on a Raspberry Pi, please ask.

Best regards,
