This is a multiplayer space battle game for the X Window System written in
|
|
C for Unix. Each player has a number of windows presenting different
|
|
information and controls, including a short range viewscreen showing your
|
|
ship in the center and other objects near it, a long range "map" (aka
|
|
"radar") showing all players, a damage report and repair window, a weapon
|
|
selection window, a ship's-computer and player-to-player communications
|
|
window, and a ship upgrade status window.
|
|
|
|
The game uses the X network protocol to display graphics and receive
|
|
player input from multiple servers. Only one client is running and is in
|
|
control of the entire game. Temporary clients can also be ran which
|
|
simply send a message to the main client telling it to add a server to the
|
|
game. If there is space in the game, and the main client can access your
|
|
server, then a new player is "born" onto that server. (Usage: "final -add
|
|
...")
