- Progress on Galactic Bloodshed so far has been fairly steady; and I hope to 
- have a working multi-player copy
- of the game (ver 0.9) up by the beginning of the summer.

- It says in the docs that you can dock ships together, but you can't.  
- the best you can do is land.  When this is fixed the mirrors (and some of the

- This is a game of interstellar exploration/conquest.  It's not (of
- course) complete, but it's fixed up enough to post I think.
- It runs pretty good on 4.3 and 4.2, but as our versions of both here
- are a little funky, it may require some tweaking before it runs to a game 
- keeper's satisfaction. Be sure to adjust the PATH macro in the file
- files.h to fit your system.
  
  BUGS:
  	None serious that I know of, however there are a few things that need 
  to be fixed up in the near future:

+ 	This is a game of interstellar exploration/conquest.  
+ 
+ 	Players begin the game as members of a randomly generated race, with
+ attributes (intelligence, birth rate, size, metabolism, etc) that affect
+ development later.  Each turn, population will migrate to unpopulated areas
+ of the planet.
+ 
+ 	Currently I have the following features:
+ 
+ 	Exploration: players can build many types of ships with which to 
+ colonize other planets.
+ 	Terraforming: planets have atmospheres, composed of different amounts
+ of gases.  players can build machines to alter the atmosphere to one more
+ suited to their race.
+ 	Von Neumann machines: This is a ship-type that can be built.  It
+ exists to reproduce itself using whatever resources are available, and can be
+ useful to send to other players.  I got this idea after reading _The Forge of
+ God_.
+ 	Co-existance: There are several types of terrain: land, ice, ocean,
+ mountainous, and gas(gasgiant).  Each player has a type which he preferrs; if
+ one race's preference differs from another, both races can co-exist on the same
+ planet.
+ 	Communication: players can communicate with each other, but only if
+ they sacrifice valuable resources to translate another language.
+ 	Combat: If the above breaks down.
+ 
+ 
+ 	The game is not (of course) complete, but it's fixed up enough to post
+ I think.  It runs pretty good on 4.3 and 4.2, but as our versions of
+ both here are a little funky, it may require some tweaking before it runs to
+ a game keeper's satisfaction.
+ 
+ 
+ 	GB can be found via anonymous ftp to the machine ssyx.ucsc.edu
+ (128.114.133.1).  (Look in pub/games).
