Games Come to Pidgin

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the c-is-dead-long-live-c dept.

Tovok7 writes "Free software instant messengers have long been lacking the support to play games with your friends. The waiting is finally over, because today Pidgin Games was released. It comes as plugins for the popular Instant Messenger Pidgin and is running under Linux and Windows. The special thing about Pidgin Games is that it is written in the new programming language Vala which has a C# like syntax, but compiles to pure C."

    And instead of new features, I keep seeing more and more features removed to streamline the app.

    Its the recession, we all gotta cut back a bit.
