xbattle is a concurrent multi-player game which combines elements of
|
|
strategy with arcade-like action to capture a wide range of military
|
|
scenarios. The game is based on X11, which you must have installed to
|
|
run xbattle. Opponents play from separate displays, with commands being
|
|
executed concurrently -- the players do not take "turns", but rather
|
|
they all issue their commands simultaneously. There can be any number
|
|
of players, with each player assigned to a specific team, indicated by
|
|
marker colors. The game board is a matrix of cells (square, hexes,
|
|
etc.) that can be occupied by colored troops, with the goal of the game
|
|
being to eliminate the enemy from the board by attacking cells occupied
|
|
by enemy troops. A wide variety of command line options (and previously
|
|
configured game files) provide an abundance of different scenarios and
|
|
gaming environments.
