Project HPX

Project HPX is a series of game development projects using the Simple DirectMedia Layer library. Its aim is to create a multiplayer team game with a mixture of action and real-time strategy style of gameplay.

I am starting off with something easy, where I hope to create a simple two-player game similar to T.A.N.K.S. The latest version from CVS is almost playable, except that it will frequently crash (probably taking X along with it) and is very jerky.

I've successfully ported the networking source to use SDL_net, making the source portable across Windows and Linux (bar a small gettimeofday() problem on Windows). The Windows binaries I've been testing with are available in the file releases page.
