“Speedbump/Leviathan productions” is mostly pleased to announce the

artillery-style game in the tradition of Scorched Earth. Features

Arbitrary images for both foreground and background
Up to ten human players
Four tank types
Fully graphical interface
Weapons purchases and sales
Adjustable terrain parameters

Modular weapons interface
Widget library

Works at 16 bpp or greater
Future feature will include:
Sound
Network play
Computer AI players
Terrain Alteration currently has fewer features than other
scorched-earth type games for Linux, so I’m not releasing it to the
general public yet. However, I’m tired of it sitting on my HDD
collecting dust, and I’m hoping releasing it keeps me a little more
motivated…
Terrain Alteration is currently only for Linux, and has only been
tested under X. It still uses some Linux-specific functions for delays
and such. Let me know what you think, if you’ve got a few minutes…
