Just Tactics: turn based 1v1 online strategy game. Getting it Running

About a week ago I stumbled across Just Tactics on the Linux Game Database and thought, wow, it's like chess, but much more complex. Sounds awesome, right? So I checked out the Just Tactics Wiki, and saw that only 32 bit Ubuntu is officially supported. Well, obviously that's not gonna stop me.

To cut a long story very short, here are the 32 bit libraries I installed (in order), and an additional step to match Ubuntu. I'm not sure if everything is necessary, I just know it's working now.

installed earlier as dependencies for other packages
lib32-ncurses
lib32-libxv
lib32-alsa-lib
lib32-zlib
lib32-sdl
lib32-openal
lib32-libstdc++5

installed in an effort to get Just Tactics working
lib32-libxtst
lib32-libxt
lib32-nvidia-utils // this should correspond to your graphics card
lib32-mesa
lib32-libgles
lib32-gtk2
lib32-gtk

done to ensure similarity to Ubuntu
# ln -s /usr/lib32/ /lib32

Part of the reason I'm not certain as to which libraries are actually needed has to do with Ubuntu's use of ia32-libs, which is basically every 32 bit library under the sun (figuratively) in one package. I'm also not sure whether the symlink is actually need, as I installed lib32-gtk at the same time. I'll need to remove it and test.

Hopefully, once I know exactly what's necessary, I can post the information to both our wiki, and theirs.
