Future Plans

Find new Maintainer

Is anybody interested in maintaining spacewars? I no-longer use Windows anymore and have lost interest in Spacewars.

• sound support
• network play
• configurable controls (Configuration file already stores keys)

I am also willing to listen to any suggestions you have.
