[Kde-games-devel] Release of KsirK 1.3 beta2

[Kleag]

Hello all,

I'm very happy to announce the realease of the second network playable version 
of KsirK !

Get it at:
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=21450

This is beta but all network features are implemented, extended testing needs 
to be done. Since beta1, the followings have been completed:
 
 * Networked i18n
 * Load and save in network mode (with password for network players)
 * IA working in network mode
 * Local and network playing;
 * List of available countries is updated and checked;
 * Player identification flag is updated.
 * No more default skin only;
 * No more crash on client disconnect;
 
!!! WARNING !!!
 To compile KsirK1.3beta2, you have to patch a file in the libkdegames/kgame 
library. A version of the patched file is given in the kgame-patch directory 
of the distribution. If you don't know how to do that, maybe should you wait 
for a corrected kdegames package or for binary distributions of KsirK.
 
 
 
 If you can try network game with distant computers, please let me know !
 
 KsirK still needs YOU ! I'd like to receive:
 - comments;
 - bug reports (well, I wouldn't like but they would be useful !);
 - help for better graphics ;
 - code if you'd like.
 
 Happy World Conquest !

 KsirK is a strategy game inspired by the well known game Risk. It runs under 
KDE or any Linux system with the KDE libs and is released under the GPL . In 
the current beta version, KsirK is a multi-player network-enabled game with a 
simple AI. Planned future versions will have a better AI and more 
enhancements (see the web site in the distribution for details).
 
 
 Build and installation instructions are on the web site. The user manual is 
also on the web site. It has not been updated since previous 1.0 version but 
should be usable in its present state.
