1.2 Project status

As of today, the game is in beta state. It can be installed, and you can toy arround with, but it's far from being complete.

What works:

• The whole framework is here, some functions are not implemented yet, but the bases are set up, and they are believed solid. The game is very modular, it is designed so that graphics, sound and network backends can be hacked at will.
• Documentation. Yes, you're reading it.
• Demo-style game. It's possible to launch the game and play against a (very) dumb bot. No human vs human yet.
• Maps. A number of interesting maps have already been designed (thanks to Kasper Hviid).

In the near future:

• Complete solo/local game. The idea is to provide correct gameplay in a local context, wether between friends or against the computer.
• Network gaming.

In the long run:

• Port the game to other platforms. Current version runs on GNU/Linux.
• Write new graphical backends so that the game does not require Mesa or any OpenGL-like subsystem. The idea is to get rid of the 3D-accelerator dependency.
• Implement all the fancy 3D features, make it possible to play Liquid War 6 on a Moebius ring.
• Use the cool features of CSound to provide dynamic, contextualized sounds & musics.
• Optimize the bot algorithm, which is probably a complex AI problem.
