Hello, in this tutorial I'll explain how to set up the necessary dependencies in order to run the game "AssaultCube" in Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04. This is the first tutorial I've ever written for the Ubuntu community, so if you notice that I'm missing anything, please say so and I'll try to correct it. Also, I'm assuming that you already have your ATI/NVidia graphics card drivers set-up. I'm running this using the Open Source ATI drivers included in Ubuntu 9.04 with no problems.

Anyways, first we'll have to download assault cube. Either go to the official website, or open up a terminal and run the following command to download the program:

Code:
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/actiongame/AssaultCube_v1.0.2.tar.bz2

Now we need to extract this file... in the Terminal, browse to the directory you downloaded the file to and run the following command:

Code:
tar xjvf AssaultCube_v1.0.2.tar.bz2

This will extract all the files in the archive to the AssaultCube_v1.0.2 directory. To change to this directory, type:

Code:
cd AssaultCube__v1.0.2

Before we can run AssaultCube, we need to install the dependencies. In the terminal, type:

Code:
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-all libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-image1.2-dev libopenal-dev

Everything should be set-up now. To run AssaultCube, simply type ./assaultcube.sh or double click the icon in the AssaultCube directory.

Enjoy!
