Are you really saying you're able to download a tarball from
http://ufoot.org/liquidwar/v6/snapshots/ then compile & run it? If so, that's
great.

Zoom is your ally here. I suspect I need to offer "big square buttons" for
zoom in and zoom out. Same thing for primary fire and alternate weapon. All in
all that's 4 actions, which isn't that many buttons (only 4). I think we could
put that right in the center/bottom part of the screen, between the log
(bottom-left corner) and the team info (bottom-right corner).

OK, so let's say Androïd port is the next big thing after network is complete.
That's to say -> we get a network mode that is somewhat playable, then rapidly
switch to Androïd port before fine-tuning network. Does this make sense?

BTW, I'll have some remarks to do with your settings, now that I changed the
way the "fast" parameter affects "aggressive" and "vulnerable". It happends
you seem to favor "fighter-regenerate" over "fighter-defense" (which is fine
BTW) with, in some cases, fighter-defense being 0. But not always. So on maps
with fighter-defense being non-zero, blue, as an example, appears over-strong
(beats red any day). This might require consolidation before being fixed, but
I just thought you could be interested by that side effect.

Have a nice day,

Christian.
