Guide: Installing Dots and Dashes on Linux with Steam Proton

This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.


1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."

Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.

Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.


2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.


3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.


4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.

What is Dots and Dashes? Features and Description

A rendition of the pen and paper classic game of Dots and Dashes. Player settable board size, with ability to to play against other players, or the program or both. Seven computer playing levels will allow players of all skill levels to enjoy the game. Leader boards are available to record wins.


This is a computer version of the classic pen and paper game that is known by many names, including "Dots and Dashes". Other names it is known by include: Dots and Boxes, Boxes, Dot to Dot Grid, and Pigs In A Pen. This version allows up to four human players plus one host computer (or five humans and no computer) to play the game. The board size is adjustable up to limits imposed by the screen resolution. The computer, even when not actively playing, can hint or play a dash for any player.

Basic play is that the game starts with a grid of dots, and no dashes. Players in turn place a dash between two horizontal or vertical dots. If by doing so the player places the fourth side of one or two squares, they immediately earn another go of placing a dash. Such completed squares are marked with initials, symbol or colour. The usual criteria for winning is the player with the most completed squares at the end of the game is the winner, however players are free to choose their own criteria for winning (e.g., a minimum number of squares). Note though, if the computer is playing, it always plays to maximize its completed squares.

There are seven computer playing levels, starting from a completely random play with no completing of squares (level 1), to a simple (level 5) or complex (level 6) implementation of the "Double Cross Strategy". The final top level strategy is a "Sacrifice Strategy" where the computer, if it determines it is losing, will tempt the player with sacrifices to hide its true plan. Note these higher level strategies really only work in a one player versus machine game. Multiplay between a number of human players allows collusion between the players to defeat the machine (or another human player)!

The games also comes with the computer being able to offer hints, or play the hint, or take back any number of moves for the players. These are offered as a three player difficulty levels: Level 1 allows both "play hint" and "take back moves", level 2 only allows "take back move", while level 3 allows neither "play hints" nor "taking back a move". For single player versus the program, the game has access to a number of leader boards at computer levels 3 to 7, HOWEVER, these boards are only accessible at player difficulty level 3, where the player is playing without help against the program.
