full color paradise netrek client. It has been hacked into manageble
bits and a small amount of functionality added. As you can see by
XGalaga, it is a very powerful set of routines for games, and by
making it into a standalone library, I hope to see it in use by
others.
The copyright for XGalaga does NOT apply to libXsprite! It is
covered by it's own copyright in copyright2.h. It is still free
software however, and you are free to use it however you see fit.
The one big thing lacking is documentation. It could also be
cleaned up a little, and there are a few things (wm hints, etc) that
still say "XGalaga", but other than that it will work quite well as a
separate library. I'd like to hear about it if you do, because I want
to see more bitchin' X games like XGalaga ;-) I'm sure Bill Dyess
(dyessww@eng.auburn.edu) would too, as he wrote most of the cool
pixmap stuff for it.
