[Lgames] LBreakout2 2.5beta released!

[nobody <no...@us...>]

Puh, this was a piece of work! The most important stuff first: Network gaming seems to be on a playable level now. It is still beta but has improved much compared with the previous releases. Many thanks to 
JD from LinuxGaming and Nilfilter from the GameTome who helped a 
lot with testing! There is currently a test server running at
<B>217.160.141.22:8000</B> which is kindly provided by Nilfilter 
and his girlfriend. Thanks!

The gameplay of the single player mode has also much improved. 
Paddle size and bonus times were modified to fit the original values 
of LBreakout. Also the random ball angle is back again allowing better 
use of the sticky paddle bonus. These suggestions came from Andrew
Sharp, thanks.<BR>
In addition I removed the levels similiar to LBreakout 1 from the original
set of LBreakout 2 to create a tighter levelset which is more fun to play
and added new levels for a total of 25 levels. And: I converted the 
levelset of LBreakout 1 so it can be played with just minor modifications 
in LBreakout 2 now! This two levelsets have to be played without 'warp'
and 'disintegrate' (which are just workarounds for bad leveldesign). I 
also removed the 'continue' feature: If  you lost all lives the game is 
simply over.<BR>
Beside from that there were a lot of bugfixes so you should definitely
check out this release... it's worth it.
