Re: [Super-tux-devel] Super-tux ideas

[Marek M. <wa...@gm...>]

Hi!
Thank you for your mail! We are glad to hear that you like our game.
Also, thank you very much for all those ideas. Some of them are already 
in the code (backscrolling) or will be in milestone 2 (collection of 
keys) or a later version (sidekick), but some are pretty original. If 
you like, you can check out the SuperTux development Wiki at 
http://supertux.berlios.de/wiki/ and add your ideas to it. Whenever you 
have a new idea, feel free to come back and put it there, too. :-) We 
are always happy to get productive feedback from our players!
