Making a hat is dead easy.
If there's no animation, is literally just copying the hat a few times at regular intervals.
Trivial in GIMP, Photoshop, Inkscape...
And yes, the main issue is making it look nice on the hedgehog, not creating the hat.

Not even that, if you use the template svg i posted on the hats thread you just need to draw it once, then its automatically cloned

I actually wrote to the guys at PlayDeb, because they had 0.9.13 up, but only available for Ubuntu 10.04 (which is still unreleased). As it turns out, they do not plan to release 0.9.13 for any versions of Ubuntu lower than 10.04, so you can either run a beta version of Lucid Lynx, build hw 0.9.13 from source, or find another way to enjoy the game. From the reply I received:

Hey I am having a problem with new version.
everything runs smoothly and everything but
when I close the game, it turns my monitor resolution to 640x380.
It was originally 1024x600
I am using dell inspiron mini 10v and using ubuntu 10.04 desktop version.
