Wanted: SDL Xconq Development

SDL Development

Hi,

I’ve been working intensly over the last few weeks to bring satellite
orthographic images into a conflict simulation system. Okay, I’m
developing a new wargame.

I’ve settled on the Xconq system because of it’s ability to process
various factors such as terrain type, elevation, etc. I’ve had quit a
bit of sucess actually, you may view a concept screen image here (14MB
download):

http://www.xconq.org/screenshots/124,46_with_grid.png

In order for this to work, however, Xconq must be able to parse it’s
terrain map from a single image, such as that linked above. Xconq
currently draws it’s screen from an image containing pre-defined
hexagons that are repeated in a pseudo random way.

Specifically, Xconq must be modified for PNG support and must be able to
extract terrain hexes from the single image I mentioned above.

Here is a link for Matt Skala’s detailed writing on the subject:

http://sourceforge.net/pm/task.php?func=detailtask&project_task_id=114585&group_id=124062&group_project_id=40455

Is this something a developer on this list can do? The code would be
developed under the GPL. If you would like to work on a fun project I’d
like to hear from you.

Here is a link to Xconq’s main web page:

Thanks,

-Coop
