PalmWars clone

What is it?

It's a Palm Wars [1,2] clone, which is a Palm version of BBC strategy game Mobwar. We don't yet have a name for it, and it does not really work yet, but stay tuned for updates.

Where do I get it?

You can get the latest sources via mercurial, like this:

hg clone http://hg.tx97.net/pw

The code is portable C, written using SDL [3] and SDL_image [4] libraries. It should work on any modern Unix, Windows, and anything that SDL supports. We currently test it on FreeBSD, MacOS X and Windows (MinGW and Visual C).

Beware! The UI is ugly.

How do I build it?

There are basic makefiles for BSD make and GNU make, so you pretty much can just `make run' on most unixes. On other platforms, you can just point $CC to all the .c files, and link the result with SDL and SDL_image. How exactly do you link with SDL on your system is described in the corresponding SDL FAQ section [5].
