Castle-Combat will be rewritten from scratch

As some of you may have noticed, the Castle-Combat network-code doesn't work reliably. The network implementation has some serious design flaws, which can't be fixed without a rewrite. Unfortunately, the network code isn't cleanly seperated from the game logic, so any network changes would cause changes in other parts of the program. I finally decided to solve this problem by rewriting the whole game from scratch.

I will also use different tools this time to increase my development speed (and to have more fun). The new implementation will be written in python, using the libraries pygame (SDL-python bindings) and twisted (networking).

I just opend the castle-combat discussion forums on soureforge, so if you have any questions or comments, please leave a message there.

Penguin Command 1.6.8 released

Yet another bug-fix release. Binaries for MacOS X and updated source code have been uploaded. Please report any problems!

SFont 2.03 released

This version includes an improved and cleaned-up version of the SFont C++ wrapper (Thanks go to Lion Vollnhals). The pure C implementation remains unchanged.

Web site problems in IE

The website isn't rendered correctly in Internet Explorer, yet. I tested
the website only in IE for MacOS and the results were pretty good, so I
assumed the Windows IE would render it good, too. Unfortunately, this is
not the case. I corrected the worst problems, but there's still some
work to do. In the mean time, the current site should be at least
usable.

available.

Web site redesign

I rewrote most of the html code using css, integrated blogger as news and changed a bunch of other things. This greatly improves this site's maintainability and I hope the new design increases the readability, too. Any comments are appreciated.
