Join your jeesh for zero-g battles in Leges Motus
,----[ Quote ]
| Isaac Newton, in his Principia, outlined his
| famous laws of motion, or in Latin âleges
| motus.â As you know, Newton was an avid
| computer gamer, so itâs fitting that a
| SourceForge project has adopted Leges Motus
| as the name for its 2-D multiplayer shooter.
| In this game, players attempt to travel
| across a zero-gravity arena while freezing
| the opposing teamâs members in order to
| bring down the opponentsâ gate. Game play
| combines fast-paced action with team
| tactics, yet the basics are simple enough
| that beginners can jump into it immediately.
| Its developers says itâs the only open source
| game that combines 2-D graphics, top-down
| shooter gameplay, and a zero-gravity
| environment.

| With a small development team, Partlan says
| itâs easy to coordinate work on the code by
| talking on IRC or in person, âbut we would
| like to expand our team to speed up the
| process of development. Weâre looking to
| make some really cool features happen in the
| future. We want to create more interesting
| weapons, such as a burst-fire machine gun
| that takes some time to charge up, and a
| melee weapon that fires a pulse of energy in
| a small radius around you. We also would
| like to create an AI client, so more players
| can try the game out without needing to wait
| for opponents. Weâll also be adding a
| keyboard mapping menu, among other things.
