#### Sprite-based side scrolling gaming engine, royalty free

From humble beginnings in 2004, it has since grown into the most versatile,
easy to use, and powerful engine of its type you will find anywhere. OpenBOR
is optimized for side scrolling beat em’up style games (Double Dragon, Streets
of Rage, Final Fight), but easily accommodates any sort of gameplay style and
feature set you can imagine.

Notes:

* This snap runs better when launched from terminal in ~ (cd ~ && openbor4) however it creates empty folders (Logs, Paks, Saves, Screenshots).
* The games must be copied into: ~/Paks (or ~/snap/openbor4/common/Paks )

Gamepad/joystick: to connect its Snap interface, you might need to type in a terminal:

```
`snap connect little-spy:joystick`
```

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install OpenBOR 4

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
