[ Thanks to Thad
Phetteplace
for this announcement: ]

After numerous delays and distractions, I am finally taking
the plunge with a first public release of my GridSlammer game
engine.
GridSlammer is an open source, object oriented game
SDK for rapidly development of isolinear style video games (think
of the visual style of Diablo or Mech Commander). It currenly ships
with a reference game called DroidWars and will compile on both
Linux and Windows. This is very much an Alpha release, so there is
much to be done on both GridSlammer and the DroidWars game, but in
keeping with the ‘release early release often’ philosophy of open
source… here it is. You can learn more about GridSlammer on the
GridSlammer Web Site. I
look forward to your feedback.
