2191 4 2001-12-31 01:58:38 <em>Category:</em> Strategy<br> <em>Description:</em> <p>A new version of the <a href="http://happypenguin.org/show?Starship%20Traders">Starship Traders</a> multiplayer strategy game. The new version, ST2, has a 3D interface and includes an X-Window-based client program. ST2 is considerably faster than its WWW predecessor and integrates a graphical display and point-and-click mouse controls with a complete keyboard interface. Linux users are needed to participate in the first test game since no other operating systems are yet supported.</p> <p>The new server is up and running now and a Linux version of the client is available. The client is a dynamically linked Linux x86 binary and requires the Mesa3D or OpenGL libraries -- which should already be installed on most modern distributions. Internet access is also required to play in the test game, of course.</p> <p>The screenshot shows a sector with a starbase, a planet, a tradingpost, some sector debris, a few fighters, a wormhole, and, if you look closely, a couple of small starships in the lower left quadrant intermixed with the text. This screenshot is with the window at 640x480. For a less cluttered appearance you can click resize -- while playing -- to expand (or shrink) the window.</p> Starship Traders 2 sst012 new
