Scorched3D Takes Classic Series Crossplatform

Posted by simoniker on from the artillery-elevation-never-gets-old dept.

Dave_B93 writes "Scorched3d (a Scorched Earth clone that features a 3D Environment, plus LAN and Internet play) has just released an update, to Build 35. It's now cross-platform (Win32, Linux, Solaris), and includes Server side bots, batteries, fuel, napalm, sand hogs, diggers and leapfrogs in addition to all the previous weapons. It's also been open-sourced under the GPL. You can find the SourceForge project here (Scorched3d was mentioned previously in this article.)"

    I'll grant that sometimes people link to the GNOME libraries when they don't need to (e.g. grip only uses a couple calls from GNOME libs). But, it's not like you have to *run* the environment to use programs like this. I run straight Sawfish, but use GNOME apps all the time, just having the libraries and whatnot installed.

    I have a larger problem with the odd KDE app I want to run, as they often start up the session management, and all sorts of odds and ends that slow me down.
