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.

Other Software Required:
Various core Gnome libraries.
Gtkmm/Gnomemm.
The usual Autoconf/Automake things.
