At first I wondered why this was on Hacker News (there are zillions of open source games out there) - but there is some more information in the linked forum post that makes it interesting: http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16828&PN=1 http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16828&PN...
