There's a game by rss games called shoot-da-me that uses a helicopter, available at rssgames.net. I believe it can play on both linux & windows boxes, but I could be mistaken about that. Basically u shoot wherever the sound is coming from, or, sometimes, from the opposite of where the sound comes from. On 4/13/12, Juliano Cesar Ribeiro wrote:

However, Juliano, I really think this topic would be better on the program-l list, as this is primarily a list for blind system administrators. Program-l is specifically for programmers, & there are likely more game developers on that list who could be of assistance. Send an email to program-l-request@freelists.org w/the word subscribe in the subject line & that should fix u up. On 4/13/12, Jackie McBride wrote:
