Globulation 2

Globulation 2 is a 2D free software game that is real time (like starcraft) and 
strategic intensive (like civilisation).
The most approching game I can remember is The Settlers.
In Glob2 (it\\\'s short name) you decide which building to put where and then 
some creatures (named globules) go to harvest ressources and construct the 
buildings. Of course, thoses creatures must eat so they need a food building. 
This introduces a complexe system that is really fun to evolve. After some time 
you can build aggressive globules and try to attack the enemy.
Glob2 can be played alone vs an AI or up to 32 players through TCP/IP. A 
primitive but working meta server (like battle.net for starcraft) is working 
and running on a friend\\\'s server.
It uses SDL for graphical abstraction and an OpenGL version is planned (always 
2D, but uses HW acceleration).

It is actually not finished (the gfx, the gui and the gameplay need work) but 
it is already playable.
You can get a CVS snapshot at http://ysagoon.com/glob2
You also need to take the graphics tarball.
After that go to the map editor and create a simple map. If you encounter any 
problem send me a mail and I\\\'ll send you a map.

Note : the CVS snapshot will have the correct GPL header from january 7th 5:15 
pm :-)
