AssaultCube Reloaded

[Linuxis]

Assault Cube Reloaded is a revamped and improved version of Assault Cube. *An FPS shooter*
It has more weapons, more stages, game modes, *including zombie mode*
bullet riccochet and even an upcoming third person mode.

The game is portable and the executable is a shell script.
I think it could work in Freebsd and Pcbsd.

Assault Cube and Assault Cube Reloaded are two completely different games.

Assault Cube reloaded is a fork of Assault cube, made by a different team of developers.

We already have a PBI for "AssaultCube" (games/assaultcube), but it looks like " Assault Cube Reloaded" has not been ported to FreeBSD yet.
As such, I am moving this over to the port-requests forum.

Errr...But that's what I've been saying, the game doesn't even need to be installed. It's portable. You simply untar it into a directory, click on the shell script and it will run.

Just because it is "portable" does not mean that the program can be run anywhere without building the program for each operating system. For instance, on the program's download page it has this description:

Linux has Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit precompiled binaries and Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit precompiled binaries, but you can compile your own as it also contains the source.

This implies that the tar'ed files are actually pre-compiled on linux (Ubuntu specifically), so they may not work properly on FreeBSD. It is better to create a port for this program that will actually compile the program from source, that way we can be sure that it will work natively without any possible issues with the linux compatibility layer.

As to the shell script that starts the program, it looks like that is simply a wrapper to run the main binaries. We actually do the same thing for a number of our PBI's, because it allows any special options to be easily set before the program starts.
