about
silverflux allows you to easily install and manage commercial games on your GNU/Linux system. only games with available GNU/Linux native binaries are supported at this time, but extensions for running games under wine/cedega/dosbox are planned. silverflux automagically installs, downloads patches, and configures games without any required user intervention. it is a truely simplified game management system.
the latest release even provides a simple gui, see screenshots.
the intended audience for this software includes desktop as well as advanced end users.
silverflux was created to fill in the last linux gaming deficiency; the interface between the user and the system. silverflux provides the glue that prevents the user from fumbling with ill-concieved and clumsy game installers (both windows and linux native). instead an advanced user figures out how an optimal installation works then creates an automated script; thus simplifying the installation process for everyone. this is especially important for enabling games on wine where config files often need to be tweaked manually. everyone benefits.
