The next step is to tell aptitude to use the wheezy repository for normal updates and
that you would like to use Jessie from time to time. These settings should be typed
into the file found at
/etc/apt/preferences
. Create this file if it does not exist.
Package: *
Pin: release n=wheezy
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release n=jessie
Pin-Priority: 300
Package: *
Pin: release o=Raspbian
Pin-Priority: -10
After adding these settings and saving the files, you should run
apt-get update
.
We will be using
apt-get
with an extra switch to use the new packages. You should
only use this switch when it is advised. Upgrading core packages could result in
unstable behavior. The command we will be using is as follows:
apt-get <-t jessie> <install> <packages>
Games servers
We will only be focusing on running the server parts of games that do not require
desktop interaction. Instead, you run the client on another computer and connect
to Pi. Some clients can run on Pi's X desktop, but they might suffer from low
frame rates.
OpenTTD
OpenTTD
is a reimplementation of the original
Transport Tycoon
made by
Micropose. The game is dangerously addictive and adding Internet play into
the mix gives you an extra competitive edge.
You have to have a passion for logistics, strategy, and real-time simulation to enjoy
this game. The goal is just something to do with controlling trains and trucks as
efficiently as possible and make profit while transporting cargo.
