How do I uninstall game(s) after I finish them ?

If I just delete this folder: /usr/local/share/blackwell-1-the-blackwell-legacy
and menu shortcuts, is that it?

You should use your package manager (pacman?) to uninstall the packages 'blackwell-1-the-blackwell-legacy' and 'blackwell-1-the-blackwell-legacy-data'.

oh, what do you know ... those packages actually exist :)
I assumed because I used your script to install game, there must be some special way to uninstall it.

Thank you very much, game works perfectly btw!

Part of the point of these scripts is to make installing/updating/uninstalling our games an easier task, and we thought using our distros package manager is the best way to handle this ;)

Thank you for the script. I know that I expressed my doubts and even critizised it at first (in a different thread for a different game; I think it was Beneath a Steel Sky), but I have completely revised my opinion.

The script works great and it even keeps the deb-packages for future use. Very well done. Thank you!

I agree with you, that the package manager is the best way of managing the packages in the system. Flatpack or Snap look promising in some ways, but that's yet another different approach. Might be worth a look, though, since with the aging of games it might become more difficult to find the necessary libraries in the repositories.

Approval by people who originally had doubts about ./play.it is always very well appreciated, thank you for that ;)

Flatpack/Snap/AppImage are far from being a priority, but I’m pretty sure they will be integrated at some point.
We just need to find someone really invested in these packaging formats and get her on board…
