What is it?

Liquid War is a multiplayer wargame: up to 6 players can play on one single computer. It is now distributed as FREE SOFTWARE under the terms of the GNU license.
Liquid War 5 uses Allegro, an amazing game library for the DJGPP compiler.
Its rules have been invented by Thom-Thom, and make the game quite different from many wargames, so it may be a little hard at first to understand how it works, but I honestly think it is worth trying it.
The actual release is a DOS program, but I've not had any big problems running it under Windows. A Windows version is also available but much slower than using DOS. The Linux version is just about to be ready ;)

Here are some screenshots, in case you want to see how does the game look like before downloading it:

Authors

The idea of the game and its basic algorithms have been invented by Thom-Thom, a friend of mine. I (U-Foot) did the programming job, and my personal computer should be the only place in the world where the 640Kb of source code can be found. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any question or remark about the game. My E-mail is ufoot@bigfoot.com.

Work in progress

I do not have time right now to program major updates on Liquid War. However, since the game is now free software, anyone is welcome to try and make his own improvements, as long as his work is still distributed under the GPL. If you have added new features to Liquid War, please tell me, I'd be pleased to try them and will surely include them in next Liquid War releases.

I heard that Thom-Thom is working (hard?) on Liquid War 6. This version should run on UNIX machines.

But right now, I'm working on Tetr61s, a multiplayer Tetris clone, running under Win32, with TCP/IP support.
