Hi,
For those who don't know what DigiPen is, it is a university for Computer Science, Game Design, and other computer/gaming degrees. On their website they put up, for free, games that the students have made. I've really enjoyed every game i've tried so far but the only problem is they are executables made for windows!

I've gotten one to work on Ubuntu, through Wine! But none of the others. Is there going to be any ports to Ubuntu? I have no idea how to do this kind of stuff...or if an average person can without the consent of the creators.

Thank you very much!

Generally speaking, porting things from one OS to another requires access to the source code.

So it would have to be the creators, or the creators would have to give it out.
