+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 from CEGUI. The
+game is developed in C++.
+
+Notes:
+
+Older versions of smc came without the music, so there used to be a
+separate smc_music package. This is no longer the case: this build
+includes the background music at the highest quality available.
+
+To compile this game you will need CEGUI0.7. Make sure CEGUI0.7 is
+compiled after FreeImage, as this needs a CEGUI0.7 with FreeImage support
+built in (the latest CEGUI0.7 SlackBuild will automatically use FreeImage
+if available).
+
+Unfortunately, as of this writing, it's impossible to install both CEGUI
+and CEGUI0.7 at the same time, so make sure CEGUI (the 0.8 version)
+isn't installed or you'll end up with a mess.
+
+If you get compile errors related to CEGUI's NullRenderer, rebuild
+CEGUI0.7 using the latest SlackBuild (older ones were missing NullRenderer
+support).
+
+When running, the game emits CEGUI::InvalidRequestException messages on
+its stderr. These are harmless and can be ignored: they're caused by
+the CEGUI library searching for files in the current directory before
+looking in the game directory at /usr/share/smc.
