Short: Multiplayer gravity war game client Author: Bjørn Stabell, Ken Ronny Schouten & Bert Gijsbers/Terje Pedersen (Amiga port) Uploader: terje37 online no Type: game/actio Architecture: m68k-amigaos (020+ version) This is a 'no changes' port of the X11 game Xpilot: From the manual page: XPilot is a multiplayer game which looks a bit like Thrust for the Commodore 64. Thrust has some similarities with Atari's coin-up games Gravitar and Asteriods (not a mis- spelling) - they were the originals. Several clones have appeared for various computers, among others Gravity Force for the Commodore Amiga. The main objective of the game varies as you can choose different game modes, although the only modes supported as of today are combat (optionally with teams and/or limited lives) and race. The former mode focuses more strongly on shooting each other down, while the latter is more a piloting test than anything else. To start playing, you need to connect to a server by using a client program called xpilot. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS This is an online game meaning you'll need to have amitcp/miami or similiar tcp/ip protocols running in order for it to work. If you haven't a fast machine nor a fast internet connection you can improve the performance by opening a black and white screen and open the game on this. Some other tricks can be employed and are mentioned in the manual pages. NEW FEATURES Improved on the window management routines in libX11 so it is more able to deal with the stuff used in xpilot. The menus, config window, key window and some other windows didn't work properly due to this. Speedups in libx11 should help somewhat.. Terje Pedersen Tøyengata 29b 0578 Oslo Norway
