[coco-devel] Copter Commander news

[David M. <dc...@gm...>]

Hello ye teeming horde of Copter Commander developers!

I've been working on Copter Commander a bit recently.  I've been
improving the computer AI to actually spend money.  Unfortunately,
"he" doesn't get very much enjoyment out of it, because most of "his"
funds go into buying replacement bubble copters, owing to his suicidal
insanity.

(I regard his suicial insanity as a feature, not a bug.)

Anyway, I was thinking of severing the link between funds and "extra
lives".  By long tradition, a copter costs $20.  Instead, I'm toying
with a fancy copter costing 3 air-to-air victories.

In other, more mundane news, I've CVS-comitted a port to gnome-2.=20
Also, I've made freetype the default font renderer.  These changes are
doubtless a bit brittle at the moment, but expect them to firm up, as
I now test on FreeBSD, Fedora, Debian, and soon MacOS/Fink.
