+smc (Secret Maryo Chronicles)
+
+Secret Maryo Chronicles is an Open Source two-dimensional platform game
+with a style designed similar to classic sidescroller games such as Super
+Mario Bros. It uses the platform independent library SDL and, since
+version 0.98, the OpenGL accelerated Graphics Renderer. The game is
+developed in C++.
+
+** REQUIRES **
+To compile this game you will need OpenGL (with hardware acceleration
+enabled), CEGUI, and Boost. Make sure CEGUI is compiled *WITHOUT* DevIL
+support (or just make sure it is not the default image codec) and *WITH*
+either FreeImage or SILLY codec support (FreeImage is the most
+recommended choice). Also, the background music for this game, if desired,
+must be installed as a separate package. SlackBuilds for the music pack,
+Boost, FreeImage, and CEGUI can all be found on SlackBuilds.org.
+
+*NOTE* If you are using a Boost version prior to 1.36 you should try using
+this SlackBuild without the boost patch by executing
+
+PATCHBOOST=NO ./smc.SlackBuild
+
+
+Please see readme-linux.txt in the docs directory of the source for more
+information on this software.
