The saves are stored under your home directory ~/.ufoai/ so it found them.

I think yes. How did you install the svn version?
For playing no real installation needed only downloading and compiling the source, maps, language files, then run the ufo file. If you installed it (to default directory) that updated the files of the one you installed from the repo before and removing it would mean remove the ufo:ai installation. However svn checkout and compiled binaries should remain, so you can install it again (or run from the source's directory).

hi geever

sorry but my knowledge of linux is limited

i just followed the svn instructions - basically download and compile then ran ./ufo from the trunk directory - does this count as "installing"?

are you saying that doing this also sets up stuff in the hidden .ufoai directory that synaptic would use

as a matter of interest how do you tell what version you are running from within the game?

thanks

no. make install would have installed the game to the /usr/... dirs but it's not a must. I run it from the source too.

Running the game creates the dir in your homedir to store your ufoai config, saves, screenshots. Both versions use the same directory.

You mean which (svn) revision? If so, you can't.
You can query the revision of your svn checkout with svn info command from ufoai sourcedir.
