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
