wxSpellcast: a game of duelling wizards |
Spellcaster is a multiplayer strategy game designed by Richard Bartle, concerning a conflict between two or more powerful wizards. The opponents use mystical hand gestures to invoke their spells -- spells of summoning, elemental energy, protection, mental influence, and good old-fashioned brute force. Timing and forethought are necessary to ensure that your defensive spells block all attacks while your attacks get through.
wxSpellcast is a cross-platform, client-server networkable version of the venerable XWindows "spellcast" implementation, using the wxWidgets GUI library. Fry your friends today!
