Word War vi 0.19
by Stephen Cameron (http://freshmeat.net/~StephenCameron/)
Tue, Jul 15th 2008 17:12

About:
Word War vi is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up '80s style arcade game. You
pilot your "vi"per craft through core memory, rescuing lost .swp files,
avoiding OS defenses, and wiping out those memory hogging emacs processes.
When all the lost .swp files are rescued, head for the socket which will
take you to the next node in the cluster.

Changes:
Improved collision detection. It is easier to enter the "socket" at the end
of each level. A less annoying missile alarm sound is used. Missiles turn a
bit more realistically. Shorts are used instead of ints in point structure
for a very slight increase in performance. Now high scores are saved in
~/.wordwarvi/.highscores.

Word War vi 0.15
by Stephen Cameron (http://freshmeat.net/~StephenCameron/)

About:
Word War vi is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up '80s style arcade game. You
pilot your "vi"per craft through core memory, rescuing lost .swp files,
avoiding OS defenses, and wiping out those memory hogging emacs processes.
When all the lost .swp files are rescued, head for the socket which will
take you to the next node in the cluster.

Changes:
The radar now shows a box around your ship indicating the boundaries of the
screen, and your ship and the humanoids blink twice as fast as they used to
for increased visibility. Default options can now be set via the
~/.wordwarvi/.exrc config file, and customization of keyboard and joystick
controls can be done via this file as well. A couple more levels have been
added. The mouse cursor has been changed to something less obtrusive. A few
very minor bugs have been fixed.

fixed for rare instances where the target list could get corrupted, making
everything unshootable, or even crashing the game. A bug in which the
viewport could become unsynchronized with the player's ship was fixed. A
bug which caused "make install" to rebuild everything was fixed.
