Description : A clone of the Worms game
Almost everyone has heard of the Worms(R) series of games, developed by
Team17. Worms was created in 1990, the goal of the game consisting of a
several teams of "worms" fighting to the death on a 2D map. Wormux is
heavily influenced by all games in this genre, including Scorched Earth
and Liero.
.
Wormux is free software clone of this game concept. Though currently under
heavy development, it is already very playable, with lots of weapons
(Dynamite, Baseball Bat, Teleportation, etc.). There are also lots of maps
available for your battling pleasure! Wormux takes the genre to the next
level, with great customisation options leading to great gameplay. There is
a wide selection of teams, from the Aliens to the Chickens. Also, new
battlefields can be downloaded from the Internet, making strategy an
important part of each battle.

Previous versions of Wormux depended on a development version of clanlib,
that's why a previous ITP never made it into a real package and was later
closed due to inactivity. As of version 0.7 Wormux is ported to SDL.
Wormux is packaged upstream for Debian by Jean Parpaillon, I've been in
contact with him and after the usual package review further releases
will be maintained together with him as part of the Debian Games Group.
