			<h1>Rediscovering SuperTux</h1>
			<p>Day 00449: Sunday, 2016 May 29</p>
		</header>
<p>
	The landlords never did come into the house to look at the light fixture.
	Instead, they exclusively continued work in the yard.
</p>
<p>
	Mostly, I took the day off.
	I decided to play SuperTux for a bit, but that had gotten uninstalled when I upgraded my Debian installation to Testing.
	Upon reinstalling it, I found that the old version of SuperTux wasn&apos;t present; instead, it was <a href="apt:supertux">&quot;SuperTux 2&quot;</a>! Previously, SuperTux 2 was just the unstable version of SuperTux.
	The &quot;2&quot; was just present in package names to allow the unstable version to be available in package managers that wanted it while still allowing the stable version to be available alongside it.
	I thought that it&apos;d never stabilize because any stable version would just be released as &quot;SuperTux&quot;.
	While I wasn&apos;t paying attention, the SuperTux team released a new stable version: version 0.4.0.
	My best guess is that because it&apos;s so different from their last stable version, version 0.1.3, they decided to use the <code>~/.supertux2</code> configuration directory and avoid any buggy behavior cased by old configurations/saves; to just start fresh.
	The application menu item may have been left with the name &quot;SuperTux 2&quot; and the window title bar left with the name &quot;supertux2 v0.4.0&quot; just for consistency.
	It also seems that SuperTux now has an Esperanto language pack! The system language (Esperanto) was detected by SuperTux automatically, but the language pack in use is also configurable.
	This game even has <abbr title="Universal Serial Bus">USB</abbr> game pad support, though it doesn&apos;t seem to work by default.
	In order to get controller support to work, you need to enable the &quot;Manual configuration&quot; option, at which point the default controller configuration becomes active until you change it.
	Some of the defaults worked with my game controller (which is how I was able to tell that the controller wasn&apos;t working at all without the manual configuration option active, but some configuration was necessary in order to make certain actions (such as jumping) possible.
	Perhaps some controllers work entirely with the defaults, but it might still be nice to choose your own preferred button layout.
	Once properly configured, game controller support works perfectly! In addition to the game controller being better for gaming than a keyboard, my keyboard doesn&apos;t respond well to having more than two or three keys pressed at a time, so using the controller instead is an easy way to bypass that issue.
	I have to say that SuperTux is much more polished now than it used to be.
	It plays like a professionally-made game now! There&apos;s even new challenges such as the task of collecting every coin in a given level and eliminating every enemy in a given level, either of which can be complicated by paths that can only be traveled once, such as those built from falling platforms.
	Though I do plan to revert my system to Debian Stable when I have time, I&apos;ll pull this new SuperTux version from the backports repository.
	I love this new SuperTux and don&apos;t want to go back to the old version!
