The dungeon [[File:Sampledungeon.doc | description file]]
[[File:Textdungeon.doc | the program]] is a version of the program's Python code which works from the command line
[[File:Textdungeon1.xo]] is a Sugarised install bundle, works Sugar 0.88 - 0.92
[[File:Textdungeon2.xo]] Sugar compliant icon, do not load sample file if resuming, backspace supported, journal entry saves progress)

==Screenshots in Sugar==
===Simple screenshot===
To take screenshots press Alt 1
This will capture the screen but not the mouse cursor
===Screenshot with cursor===
To also capture the mouse cursor, install gnome-screenshot. Type the following in Terminal:
sudo yum install gnome-utils
You can then start the interactive version of gnome-screenshot:
gnome-screenshot --interactive
[[File:Gnome-screenshot.png|350px]]
Check that you have the right options selected and that 'Include pointer' is selected, then click Take Screenshot. Do not navigate away to the screen you want the screenshot of because you will be unable to navigate back to the utility. At this point we are just checking that the options are correct.
[[File:Gnome-screensh-2.png|350px]]
Select a suitable save location such as 'Documents' and click Save.
Now you are ready to take a screenshot. Start gnome-screenshot from Terminal with a suitable delay, eg. 2 seconds
gnome-screenshot -d 2
Immediately go to the screen you wish to capture, position the cursor where you want it, get the menus etc. as you want them and wait for the dialog box. Click Save. (Later versions of Sugar allow you to access the saved file in Documents but the folder contents are not updated, you may need to switch between Journal and Documents to see the updated file listing.)

==GIT and patches==
===GIT local repository===
sudo install git
clone the git of the Turtle, in a terminal, make:
git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/turtleart/mainline.git
In the mainline folder there are all turtle's files..
===Patch===
sudo yum install patch
or
sudo yum install patch --nogpg
Should be a "raw patch" link (eg. 2b4ecb0cc7095f47fc944c54512e055c21537ab5.patch)
1. Save that page as a file into ~/Activities/TurtleArt.activity (eg patching Turtle Art)
2. From terminal run the patch command as follows:
patch -p1 < 2b4ecb0cc7095f47fc944c54512e055c21537ab5.patch
That is it. (Note, you should be able to use autocomplete when typing
the command line by hitting tab after typing the first few letters of
the patch file name.)
