dopewarsは同名のMS-DOSプログラムをUNIXで書き直したものです。このゲームはJohn E. Dellの"Drug Wars"に触発されたものです。あなたは1ヶ月間ニューヨークで薬物を売り買いします。最初の目的は高利貸しからの借金を返すことで、その次は富を築くことです。そして、もしその途中で警官に発砲する必要があるとすれば…。このゲームはTCPネットワークを通して他の薬物の売人に会う(そして発砲する)ことができます。コンピュータの売人は現在開発中です。
The GTK+2.0 client now handles both UTF-8 and non-UTF-8 locales sensibly. A memory corruption bug in the server has also been fixed, and a number of usability improvements have been made to the fighting code. Extra sanity checks have been added to the server to catch cheating clients.
This release adds a configuration file editor to the GTK+/Win32 client, to allow easy modification of the game. Additionally, several bugs have been fixed. The main aim of releases from this point on is stability, so bug reports are particularly welcome.
Several bugs and annoyances which occurred when using the Windows version of
dopewars have been fixed. The Windows server can now also be run as an "NT
Service" under more recent Windows versions, and the Unix server is more
"daemon-like" now.
