Bug#92827: ITP: glaxium -- A 3d spaceship "shoot-em-up" vaguely similar to galaxian
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2001-04-03
Severity: wishlist
I thought I remembered someone else posting an ITP for this, but a trawl
of wnpp and my personal mail archives didn't turn anything up.
From the README:
Glaxium is an OpenGL-based space-ship "shoot-em-up" styled game.
It is designed to provide the same feel as the old 2D games
of that type, but with 3D for the special effects.
Yes, I know, there are dozens of these games floating around, but this
shows distinct symptoms of originality; the 3d view is exploited to good
effect, and several of the enemies are very imaginative compared to other
such games [0]. (although admittedly there are only four or five enemies
that I've seen) It's very unfinished, but still fun to play.
Glaxium was written by Xavier HOSXE <xhosxe@free.fr> and is
licensed under the GPL.
Its homepage is http://www.multimania.com/hosxe/glaxium.html

[0] my personal favorite being the searchlights that trigger "airstrikes"
if they "see" you.
