Short: Xconq5.5 : A port of the popular X11 strategy wargame Xconq Author: Stan Shebs(and others)/Terje Pedersen (Amiga part) Uploader: kjelli stud cs uit no Type: game/think Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a 'no changes' port of XConq, an X-based strategy game. (Ok, a bug in the original source was fixed..). The original X11 program was made by: Stan Shebs (shebs@cs.utah.edu) Version 5.4 by Greg Fisher (fisher@cs.rutgers.edu) Version 5.5 by Robert Forsman (thoth@lightning.cis.ufl.edu) from the manual page: DESCRIPTION Xconq is a multi-player strategic wargame. Your goal is to save the world from the evil empires attempting to take over. You get cities, armies, airplanes, and ships with which to accomplish your task. Success is achieved by the neutralization or defeat of the other sides, by any means available. First you have to find them! Although the game can get complicated, to start you need only know about the help command '?', which is valid at any time. You start with only one city, which makes things even simpler. The city will automatically produce a military unit, which you will be prompted to move around. Eventually, you will get more and can attempt to take over other cities. The game keeps going until only one side is left in action; this player is then declared the winner. The program probably needs a bigger stack than the 50000 the program is asking for. Try 100000 to be on the safe side. You'll also need a big workbench 640x400 is probably a minimum. Also the program is 467000 bytes in size so 2mb is probably a minimum memory requirement. Start the game with 'xc -display Workbench' and some of the other options that are available. If running on with wb3.0+ libX11 will use pensharing on the workbench and you'll need at least 16 colors on the wb to have enough free colors. If you haven't wb3.0+ or enough colors it will use the existing colors which may or may not look good! Color allocation also uses a text file with name and color pairs (rgb.txt) that has to be placed in libs: My account terjepe@stud.cs.uit.no will be deleted today (10-Mar-95)! I may be reachable on terjepe@engstad.ingok.hitos.no but its on an unreliable PC..(running linux), or you may try terjepe@hstud6.cs.uit.no if all else fails.
