Galaxy PBW: Registration open. Let's play ! From: metlov@fzu.cz (Konstantin L. Metlov) Date: Sun, 27 May 2001 14:34:41 +0000 The Galaxy PBW is an implementation of the Galaxy war game in Java. It is entirely web-based and has a multi-platform graphical client available. The game can be played entirely in web browser. Galaxy is turn based strategic multi-player wargame. There are several game classes available, varying in turn frequency and the number of players per game. The usual turn frequency is several (3-5) turns per week and the game can be up to several months long. Due to the low frequency of turns the Galaxy does not put much of strain on players and is ideal for busy people. However, planning Your next turn usually involves a lot of thinking and communication with other players (there is anonymous web-based mail system available). Playing Galaxy may provide You with lasting enjoyable experience. In parallel I would like to invite developers to look at Galaxy PBW code (which is freely available under GNU General Public License) and contribute their improvements. The Galaxy web site is at http://galaxy.fzu.cz/ . The registration and the launch of new games is entirely automatic. Let's play ! With the best regards, Konstantin. Up
