Rating:</em> <font color="#ffff80" size="-1">(not yet rated)</font> <p> <em>Description:</em> A Free and Open Source Strategy Game for KDE <p> <em>Changelog:</em> The new version of ksirk (0.9.1) presents some important improvements. The three first are usability enhancements. The three others are conception and programmation improvements: <ul> <li>Added a button in the status bar that diplays the flag of the current player); <li>Allowed sprites to navigate from Alaska to Siberia directly. They no longer need to go through all the map. This is generalized to all movements that would be shorter by the side, on x and y axis. It will help for the future version that will be able to handle completly different maps; <li>Stop the timer when the window looses the focus. Start it again when the window gets back the focus. Previously, the map was scrolling when you was using other windows if the pointer were upon a border of the KsirK window; <li>Added a Nationality class. It is used to put the player flag in the status bar. It will also be used to add some choices to the users (name, flag, etc.); <li>The need for a graphics pool (archeologic artifact) is removed. Each sprite has its own file and the canvas do not need to be subclassed; <li>Finished to switch all members names to English (Country, KGameWindow and Player). All the API is in English. Only some local variables and some implementation comments are still in French. </ul> | KsirK 0.9.1 | updated | KsirK |

As nobody guessed the title we would be developing, we will now be offering the same prize (the first copy of Majesty to come off of the production line, signed by the LGP staff), to the person that guesses closest to the exact release date of the game. <p> Send a date and time to <a href="mailto:competition@linuxgamepublishing.com">competition@linuxgamepublishing.com</a>.<p> To help you out, we HOPE to have the game shipping by the end of october, but, as with all release dates, this is not guaranteed. </ul></i><p> | LGP runs second Majesty competition | default | |

I've been told that we should be able to release the Linux client and server executables around the same time as the windows version ships. Official tech support isn't provided for the Linux versions. Currently Linux will only work well with Nvidia cards - apparently ATI's OpenGL Linux and Mac drivers don't support texture compression. Hopefully this is something they will soon fix. Mac development is just underway so it will still be a little while before it's done.</i></blockquote> So there.<br> (Spotted at <a href="http://www.bluesnews.com">Blue's News</a>) | Unreal Tournament 2003 Linux client confirmed | default | |
