graphic bug =)

This looks like if the font could not be loaded by teewars.

Have you unpacked the download?
with winrar or something like that?

You get the colored texture when the game couldn't load the textures needed. Either you havn't started teewars from it's own directory or you haven't unpacked everything.

The same error occured on my Fedora when I run the game by doubleclick. It worked fine when I run it from the console

btw: i have the same probs with kubuntu feisty fawn, but I'm sure it's the graphic driver, because an identical system with kubuntu feisty fawn but other gracard drivers does not have this prob.

I have the same problem but only when I launch from the menu.  I launch it from the terminal and it's fine, but if I add an entry to the Applications->Games menu, it produces the same output from the OP.  I got the following advice in the Ubuntu irc channel:

I don't know how to make a shell script - something to google one of these days when I get time - but perhaps you can try it and see how that works for you.

I don't want to open a console every time I want to play the game.  All my other games I can open from the Applications->Games menu, so why not Teewars?

the difference is that when you start teewars from it's own directory you also gives it the path to itself. teewars then use this information and looks for it's subdirs relative from that path. When you start it from the application menu, teewars get the wrong path, and won't find it's subdirs.

What you can do is make a bash-script that looks something like this:

#!/bin/bash

cd /your/teewars/path
./teewars

and change in you application menu so it starts that script instead. don't forget to make it executable with "chmod +x scriptname".

Hahaha it works!  OP check it out!  Thank you so much FireArrow
