- Wormlings 2.0.0 README
- ======================
-
- Wormlings was originally written for the Allegro SizeHack 2000 competition.
- It's a multiplayer game similar to LightCycles/Tron, with 360 degree
- movement, turbo and stop powers, and bouncing balls of death. The game has no
- AI, so you need one to three friends to play. The goal in the competition was
- to write a game using no more than 10 KB for source (not counting whitespace
- and comments) and data files, so the game is very simple, but I think it's
- kinda fun in its simplicity.
-
- See VersionHistory.txt for changes in this and previous versions.
-
- You can always find the latest version of this, and my other projects, at
- www.dascdev.net. There you can also find the source for this version, and the
- original SizeHack entry. Warning! It's ugly! :)
