NewtonWars

NewtonWars is a space battle game. Gravity is the main theme, influencing the path of your missiles around numerous planets on the battlefield.

It is heavily inspired by Gravitational Combat.

The game is played with the display on a TV or projector and each participant connected via telnet (with a laptop or smartphone).

Hint: NewtonWars assumes vsync is enabled. If it is running way too fast on your system, you can use the throttle argument to slow it down (set to 16 for example).
