Package: palito - a real time strategy game
System name: palito
Type: non-GNU

Description:
Palito is a real time strategy war game.

It\'s inspired on Total Annihilation, by Cavedog
(http://www.cavedog.com/totala/).

The goal is not to clone TotalA, but to add new concepts and features to it\'s 
gameplay. (In fact I would prefer to hack TotalA, but it\'s closed source, so 
I\'m creating my own game from scratch.)

It\'s being developted for X11(GNU/Linux) (using plain Xlib) and Windows (using 
plain GDI). Other ports can happen (framebuffer or svgalib, text mode..) The 
portability is implented on a little internal library (named flush), that also 
have a simple script language for drawing units (and other objects).

The networking will follow the client/server model (currently some networking 
is poorly implemented, just two players, not serious..).


There is a homepage at
http://palito.9hells.org/

and the source tarballs are here
http://palito.9hells.org/src/

and also conveniently extracted and syntax-hilighted here 
http://palito.9hells.org/src/palito/


Other Software Required:
The only current library dependency is expat, a XML parser.
http://expat.sourceforge.net/

This can change later, as the game is at early development
(no sound/music yet, for example).
