Ole Laursen <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
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 beachievable 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

The copyright is currently assigned to the FSF; I don\'t know if that
is acceptable without us signing papers to the FSF. If it isn\'t, I\'ll
simply replace the notices with our names instead.

Gnome libraries
