Pidgin 2.2 flies the coop
by Brad Linder Sep 16th 2007
Multi-protocol instant messaging client Pidgin has hit version 2.2. And when they say multi-protocol, they mean it. Pidgin supports AIM, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, Groupwise, ICQ, IRC, MSN, MySpaceIM, QQ, SILC, SIMPLE, Sametime, XMPP, Yahoo!, and Zephyr. In other words, there's a good chance this open-source program is the only instant messaging client you'll ever need to install on your Windows or Linux PC.

One of our favorites is the return of optional protocol icons which make it easy to tell which of your friends are using MSN Messenger, and which are using AIM (and so on). Here are some of the other changes:
- Yahoo! Chat is fixed
- AIM file transfer issues fixed
- Properly restore idle status time for AIM and ICQ accounts that reconnect after being disconnected
- Remember "enable sounds" setting for a conversation

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
