README for Panzers
Panzers is a simple little multiplayer 3D game where the player controls a WW2 tank. The player controls the tank in a fully 3D environment trying to blast other players.
INSTALLATION
See the file INSTALL.
RUNNING
First start a server:
% panzers-server path/to/map
Example that starts a map 201x201 in size from the root directory of the installation:
% panzers-server maps/201x201.png
Then start a client:
% panzers localhost
If you join another server change 'localhost' to the name of that server. After this you can invite other players to your server or start playing on the server you connected to.
