MMagnetic is a port to Maemo 5 of the Gtk version of Magnetic, a Magnetic Scroll adventure games interpreter.

You can find more informations about Magnetic Scroll and its games here:

http://msmemorial.if-legends.org/memorial.php

On that site you can even download the original games (as .zip archives, so you first need to unzip 'em on your desktop or install unzip on your N900 and do it from the terminal)

mmagnetic-2.3-4 is available in the extras-testing repository.

Sweet! Works pretty well.

I have a problem though: can't figure out how to load/save (Jinxter)!
Here's some sample output:

>Save
Please enter filename: mysave
Are you sure (y/n)? Y
>load
Please enter filename: mysave
Are you sure (y/n)? Y
Sorry, there was a problem with the load.
>

And another problem is that after a sufficient number of lines, the textbox just ... ends. After this, output no longer appears.

Has anyone managed to get this working?

You need to pass the full path:

>Save
Please enter filename: /home/user/MyDocs/mysave
Are you sure (y/n)? Y
>load
Please enter filename: /home/user/MyDocs/mysave
Are you sure (y/n)? Y

As per the problem with long texts, I'll try to reproduce it and understand what's happening.

Alright, cool.

Before your comment, I suspected that a full path would be needed, and tried things like ~/mysave instead of /home/user/mysave.

Didn't realize that shell expansion doesn't happen everywhere

I've had issues with the textbox. It doesn't actually end; there just seems to be an issue with the scrolling. I found if I type something in then the focus returns to the last line.
