Other License: 
Package: Gnome Tanks
System name: gnome-tanks
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

Description:
My project is supposed to be like the old DOS game \"Scorched Earth\"
in which one tries to eradicate other tanks by means of ballistic
missiles (and napalm and nukes etc. :-). I\'m implementing it for
Gnome using the Gtkmm/Gnomemm C++ wrappers of the Gnome libraries.

My goals are: 
 - Well-behaved Gnome application (e.g. with i18n). 
 - Fun single-player with intelligent AI. 
 - Even more fun multiplayer on the same machine in hot seat fashion. 
 - Perhaps network play. I\'m dreaming of a www.tanks.org server with hundreds 
of games being played each day. :-)

So more or less: a kick-ass GNU game to show the world that free 
software is more than just ordinary applications! 

I\'ve got a few friends to help me so hopefully these goal should be
achievable within a not too distant future. I don\'t currently have
much code to show, though. I need CVS access so we can begin.

A tarball with the current code base is at
