Hello,

Ce message n'a pas de sujet, car je l'envoie par ssh... Ceci dit, on se 
sentirait presque a l'aise sur un mac, quand on a MacSSH et qu'on est connecte 
en permanece sur ysagoon.com LOL! N'empeche que c'est incroyablement rapide, et 
donc utilisable!

Bon, venons-en aux faits: j'ai fait un petit texte d'intro d'une page pour que 
les graphistes se retrouvent un peu plus facilement. Ils s'agit d'un texte 
retracant tres brievement l'histoire de globulation, et qui a les liens utiles 
pour en savoir plus (glob1, glob2, savannah, mailing list).

Pourriez-vous me dire si ce texte convient, et n'hesitez pas d'entreprendre 
quelques ameliorations.

Globulation and Ysagoon Game
============================

Globulation 1
-------------

Globulation 1.1 was released somewere in the year 2000, it adds some gameplay 
features to Globulation 1.0. It has been entierly coded by Luc-Olivier De 
Charriere and Stephane Magnenat. The graphic artwork has been done by 
Luc-Olivier. The aim was to create a game with a lot of units (like ants), a 
lot of buildings and big maps. The gameplay is between a strategic game (like 
Warcraft2), and a simulation game (like SimCity).

The software is a shareware, but the game is availible without limitations for 
no costs. The sources written in pascal are not released, because they are too 
ugly. 

Globulation 1 is only availible for Macintosh PowerMac in SIT format.

Globulation 2 alpha
-------------------

The gameplay and the graphics of Globulation 2 alpha are mostly based on 
Globulation 1. The aim was to rewrite the whole code from scratch in c++ (in 
order to be able to code the continuation of the game). Another aim was to 
summarize the gameplay to it's most important elements.

The software is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The 
purpose is to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute 
it. See www.gnu.org/philosophy for a deeper understanding of the free software 
philosophy.

Globulation 2 is availible for Windows, and Linux (Debian).

Globulation 2 - Ysagoon Game
----------------------------

The future of Globulation is still in heavy discussion. Actually, it is almost 
sure that there will be no more globule-like units in the game, thus the name 
of the game will probably change. That's why the generic name Ysagoon Game has 
been created, but it's just a name to speak about a game that hasn't yet a name.

If you are interested in the continuation of Globulation 2 alpha, don't 
hesitate to subscribe to the Globulation 2 mailing list! The most needed 
competences are ambience drawing (on paper), sprite artwork (do the different 
units, buildings, ressources, ...), music (a nice background music) and sounds. 
But we welcome every interessed person on our mailing list!
