| + | ====== Further Information ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Windows and Linux specifics ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The instructions and examples in this manual were written with reference to the //Microsoft Windows// operating systems. | ||
| + | Now, with Cafu being also available on //Linux//, I rely on the Linux users skills and experience to transfer the provided information to their favourite OS. | ||
| + | The transfer is almost always very easy to achieve: | ||
| + | Examples include that Linux has ''.tar.gz'' file archives versus ''.zip'' file archives on Windows, | ||
| + | and that the Linux executables have no file name suffix whereas the Window executables are suffixed by ''.exe''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I hope that this helps to keep this manual easy and intuitive to understand for everyone. | ||
| + | The alternative would had been to mention all specifics for each OS in each text fragment and each example. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Known Issues ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The Linux port is still incomplete: The Options dialog is missing. | ||
| + | * Sound drivers frequently cause problems under Linux. Therefore, Cafu ignores sound initialization failures on Linux, preferring no or broken sound output over no functionality at all. | ||
| + | * The dynamic shadows are not always correct. The world is sometimes lit where no light should be. | ||
| + | * Use the latest drivers for your video card. | ||
| + | * Windows 95 and 98: Do not run Cafu from a full-screen DOS-Box. It will report an error. | ||
| + | |||
