For those of you on the mailing list who aren't already aware: >From this neophyte Icer's perspective, SLICK is about three years out of date. Back when I discovered the Icehouse system, I frequented the SLICK, but was confounded by broken links. There seemed to be no way to parse the tried and true from the undeveloped concepts. Add in the fact that few (if any) games had been added since 2002, and I got frustrated. However, I've been helping Icehousegames.org (the unofficial Icehouse community's wiki) become the 'unofficial SLICK', one where games can be submitted and referenced by anyone. Hopefully an open system like a wiki can help prevent the obsolescence that has plagued the SLICK. Please feel free to flesh out the existing entries, or add unlisted games. You can even browse game designs in progress, and try out untested games. I strongly encourage the SLICK to be improved; it does have some advantages over the wiki (such as sorting by number of players or stashes). However I realize that as a closed site, updating the SLICK falls into the hands of a few very busy individuals. SLICK remains Looney Labs' official list, and they are certainly entitled to maintain The Official List. Even if the wiki becomes the de facto games list, I don't wish to usurp Looney Labs from maintaining the official list. The Icehouse community probably would not handle and turf wars over who gets to keep The List. Overall, I think the community is stronger by having both lists. ---Ryan --- On Tue 08/30, Christopher Hickman < tophu@xxxxxxx > wrote: From: Christopher Hickman [mailto: tophu@xxxxxxx] To: icehouse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2005 12:39:34 -0400 Subject: [Icehouse] SLICK SLICK will one day live again.
