buletov Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I've came to an idea to include some a small logic game as a DetachedProgram in my unattended setup...so, what (small) games do you recommend me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Indeed! This is a very good idea!Play while your windows installs! One of those card games like solitaire - or K-Chess or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Hopefully it works. I tried having it launch Media Player Classic once and it never loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buletov Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 media player depends on to much things not yet installed at that pointi was thinking about something that twists your brain out, something like Sokoban, but smaller edition...(no card games please) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjhart85 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 A couple versions of Linux include a TETRIS game while you install. I personally found this to be a great way to pass the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godan Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 how do you plan to do this? I would like to try also with something like winmine but i wouldnt know how to go about it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buletov Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 add this to the winnt.sif[GuiUnattended]DetachedProgram="\temp\game.exe"that assumes the game is in c:\temp folder and starts it at T-36 time of the gui setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepnmojo Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 I wouldn't add that to my detached program. You may not want to have that pop up everytime.Best way to do this is hit SHIFT-F10, should bring up your command prompt, and run your game that way. This way the game will only come up when you really want it, not everytime.I usually only do this when I'm testing my install, and bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Yes, the debug command-line (Shift+F10) is a good option - but newbies won't know of it, and then they may also mess up the setup with using that and bad commands. The game, on the other hand, is to make newbies feel comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 also if the game take some resources it could appear a message like "windows is running out of virtual memory blah blah blah" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buletov Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 also if the game take some resources it could appear a message like "windows is running out of virtual memory blah blah blah"that's why i said "a small logic game" now, the way to make it run is not an issue;name me some god **** good logic games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
