- XMPB is a multi player space combat game for X-terms. We
- (Shane Hyde and myself) released a version late last year to get
- some feedback. Due to lots of great feedback, we have finally
- got a new version up and running, which has all the features that
- we envisioned it would (and extras :^)
-
- We would greatly appreciate it, if we could get some people
- out there to Beta test this version for us. If you are interested,
- Mail me: ddp@deakin.edu.au and tell me what specifications your
- system runs under. From these we will hopefully cover as many
- systems as we can.
-
- When giving your system specifications, tell me your:
-
- - X11 Revision (and vendor if you know it)
- - Whether you are running a colour machine or not
- - What hardware platform you are using
- - Whether you are using a terminal or workstation
- - How much memory you have
- - And of course, anything you think I should know.
-
-
- For those who have seen our earlier version, some of the changes
- we have made are:
-
- - Save files.
- - Shop.
- - NPC's and compiler.
- - better Imakefile.
- - more weapons.
- - more consistent qualities of items.
- - Speed increase.
- - Clean quitting.
- - CTRL-C trapping.
- - Fixed collision routines.
- - Keys may be used instead of the mouse buttons.
- - Keys may be configured by resources.
-
-
- Cheers,
- Damien
