Gabor sends word that SCOURGE has hit version 0.7, which revamps the combat system which may have been a little too frantic in previous versions. Here's a list of the changes:

• Changes:
• More/higher level creatures.
• Move minimap to a window
• Multiple layouts in GUI. Create a border for the map.
• Misc. ui enhancements: texture for buttons, progress bars, etc.
• Keyboard control (focus selection, target window selection) in gui (this is needed for text input widget.)
• Re-architect code for network play. (aka. secret project. Be able to run a headless server/client.)
• SDL_net client/server code and beginnings of multiplayer protocol.
• All-new combat system is loosely turn-based (optionally real-time)
• Creature speeds (incl. players; Make battles slower)
• Projectiles should fire anyway if move away from target cannot be made (To prevent wasting time moving around.)
  
  Bug fixes:
• Occasional segfault in map destructor
• Players offended by girlie-man selection color... (changed to purple)
• Fix mainmenu: check for misaligned push/pop matrix ops, fix config window popping in back, etc.
• Fix windows problems: font corruption, mystery-crash in full-screen mode, etc.
• Fix slowness when running with stencil buffer off

Hey, network play. Nifty!

Thanks, Gabor!
