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.
