Description:
This project came into being after an initial ideia from Jorge Monteiro (that 
is a co-author) to make a curses-based game that was simple and 
network-enabled. The aim is to build a simple terminal-based game that can be 
played over the network. Also of interest is the interface to guile that allows 
the user to make a small computer AI to aid him during play (i.e. instead of 
pressing the shield button when an incoming shot is nearing he/she can make it 
automatic via guile). The game itself is very simple: two ships at the border 
of the screen try to shoot each other.

The code exists already in a primitive but usable form (the display fucntions 
are already made, the game is playable but still no usable netwroking). 
Unfortunatly I don\'t have the tarball with me now; this is exactly why we are 
opening a new project: since Jorge will probably do the core of the work we 
need to have a public available CVS.

Other Software Required:
libncurses, guile

Other Comments:
When the game is more or less ready we would like it very much to become a GNU 
program; with that in mind we are already using autoconf, using GNU identation 
and in general following the GNU Coding Standards.
