Wormux 0.9.2 Released
Wormux is a turn-based combat game using cartoon various free software project mascots.
Each player controls the team of his choice (penguin, gnu, firefox, wilber,…) and must destroy his adversary using more or less casual weapons such as dynamite, RPG, baseball bats, teleportation, etc). The teams are styled after the mascots of various free software projects, such as GNU, Linux, FreeBSD, KDE, GIMP, OpenOffice.org, Firefox, Thunderbird, Suse, Workrave, NuFW, SPIP, and Bugzilla.
Several players can play together, typically each one using a team. The game can be played online if every player uses the same version of the game. There are 2 modes: private mode (one must provide opponents one’s address and port) and public mode (an index server will publish your game). Online games have been available since 0.8beta1.
