Re: [Help-liquidwar6] Liquid War 0.2.3551 released

[Christian Mauduit]

Hi Kasper,

Nice to see you're still following this list!

Technically, the "text-graphical-thing" (that is a right way to name it
BTW) will be hard to enable on Windows, at least in a reasonnable amount
of time. Basically, libcaca works on MS-Windows, the problem is just that
because of linking issues I'd need to rewrite a few things (Liquid War 6
is much less "modular" on MS-Windows than on GNU/Linux, so I'd need to
produce a "libcaca-only" binary). In short, this, if it comes, will come
after network stuff. Network stuff that still does not work completely as
stated below, but really, it's quite close. The "test suite" that comes
with the game simulates three computers connecting to each other, as of
today it works only for two of them, I might release the network "as is"
limiting it to two players, it would be better than nothing. And I really
wanted to release something, that's why 0.2.3551 was out, the current
official release, 2 years old, did not reflect the reality : Liquid War 6
is up and moving ;)

Have a nice day,

Christian.
