GALAXY is a war game for two players, written at the
Tel Aviv university CS lab. It's manual page gives a brief
introduction. The main point is that *BOTH* players give
their commands at the same time from different terminals.
It is ever interesting, for the opponent is another shrewd
brain.
Mail me if you want the sources. There are about 7500 source
lines.
If enough requests will arrive, I'll post it all.
NAME
galaxy - A two player duel in space
DESCRIPTION
Galaxy is a game of strategy and cunning for two players. It
is played on two different CRT terminals. The game displays
a map of a remote part of the universe, with two identical
galaxies on each terminal. Each player owns one galaxy.
The aim of the game is to conquer the opponent's Capital,
which is the center of his galaxy.
Both players give commands simultaneously, without knowing
the enemy's position and intentions.
There are quite a few commands, that enable each player to
perform various tasks. The Galaxy's document contains
specifications and examples. The "help" command enables online
review of major parts from that document.
