This is a little shot'em up arcade game for one or two players. It aims
to be an 'old school' arcade game with low resolution graphics, top-down
scroll action, energy based gameplay and different weapons with several
levels of power.
The ChangeLog has this to say about it:
- in-game menus, like the "Quit Game" question, and an End Round menu.
- menu handling changed some internal things, so it is possible to create
more menus at a time. it is possible to write own menuloops.
(this is used in the new playerselection screen and playermenu screen.)
- new player selection screen, needed because of the second local player.
- password protection for own games so they can be listed on the OGC but
only people with the password will be able to join.
- user-defined keyboad settings.
- the server can now kick players from the game
- programm parameters for automatic joining/hosting a game, using ogc, port
configuation and debug mode.
- Fixed: respawning of the player will continue and
finish when we go into Hurry Mode.
- Fixed: bombs will start ticking when another special
is taken or the player died.
- Fixed: statusbar will forced to update if a player
finished respawning.
- Fixed: number of items which have been dropped. If not
all items could been set a debug message will be printed
into the console or stdout.txt.
- Fixed: items can not anymore droped on bombs.
- Fixes the issue of it making incorrect assumptions
about the initial range of bombs and placing players in
unsafe positions.

the RCD_SCRIPTS rc.d script(s) to the PLIST.
This GENERATE_PLIST idea is part of Greg A. Woods'
PR #22954.
This helps when the RC_SCRIPTS are installed to
a different ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. (Later,
the default RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR will be changed
to be more clear that they are the examples.)
These patches also remove the etc/rc.d/ scripts from PLISTs
(of packages that use RCD_SCRIPTS). (This also removes
now unused references from openssh* makefiles. Note that
qmail package has not been changed yet.)
I have been doing automatic PLIST registration for RC_SCRIPTS
for over a year. Not all of these packages have been tested,
but many have been tested and used.
Somethings maybe to do:
- a few packages still manually install the rc.d scripts to
hard-coded etc/rc.d. These need to be fixed.
- maybe remove from mk/${OPSYS}.pkg.dist mtree specifications too.
