With the aid of screenshots, Alan Pope guides us through the entire process of creating a game called Don’t Crash from a starting point of licensing it from Code Canyon through porting, creating a manifest, creating a security profile and desktop file, and building a click package. He then shows us how he tested and tweaked the app before uploading the game to the store.

## In this section we want to highlight the blogs that are exceptionally well-written and in-depth.
## Blogs tend to make it easy for low-quality content, so be extra careful on what goes here.
## We should encourage bloggers to spread the word, so this section might be a good way to do so.		 === Ubuntu MATE Is Dropping The Ubuntu Software Center ===

Michael Larabel of Phoronix relays the news that the Ubuntu Software Center will be removed from the default install of 15.10.

Ubuntu Phone News

Easily port mobile HTML5 games to Ubuntu Phone

With the aid of screenshots, Alan Pope guides us through the entire process of creating a game called Don’t Crash from a starting point of licensing it from Code Canyon through porting, creating a manifest, creating a security profile and desktop file, and building a click package. He then shows us how he tested and tweaked the app before uploading the game to the store.

Alan’s article was translated into Spanish by Marco Costales: http://thinkonbytes.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/migrar-facilmente-juegos-moviles-en.html

It’s Episode Twenty-one of Season Eight of the Ubuntu Podcast! Mark Johnson, Laura Cowen, Martin Wimpress, and Alan Pope are all together again!

  • Filmmakers fighting “Happy Birthday” copyright find a 1927 version of the “Happy Birthday” lyrics, predating Warner/Chappell’s 1935 copyright by eight years.
  • The Debian GNU/Linux Project has dropped support for the Sparc architecture, effective immediately.
  • Ubuntu Phone review from Engadget: “years in the making, but still not consumer-ready”
  • The Kubuntu project has published reference images of Plasma Mobile, a new mobile platform based on Ubuntu mobile and KDE technologies
  • Is it time to remove Adobe Flash from your Linux computer?

We also take a look at what’s been going on in the community:

  • London PodCrawl 2015 – 12th September, 12pm – London, UK

  • Ubuntu 14.10 is now no longer supported – upgrade!
  • The latest OTA Update for Ubuntu phones brings shell rotation (the display rotates with the phone) and fixes battery life…
