Scorched3D Takes Classic Series Crossplatform

Dave_B93 writes "Scorched3d (a Scorched Earth clone that features a 3D Environment, plus LAN and Internet play) has just released an update, to Build 35. It's now cross-platform (Win32, Linux, Solaris), and includes Server side bots, batteries, fuel, napalm, sand hogs, diggers and leapfrogs in addition to all the previous weapons. It's also been open-sourced under the GPL. You can find the SourceForge project here (Scorched3d was mentioned previously in this article.)"

Re:Why Gnome

[AndyBusch]

I'll grant that sometimes people link to the GNOME libraries when they don't need to (e.g. grip only uses a couple calls from GNOME libs). But, it's not like you have to *run* the environment to use programs like this. I run straight Sawfish, but use GNOME apps all the time, just having the libraries and whatnot installed.

I have a larger problem with the odd KDE app I want to run, as they often start up the session management, and all sorts of odds and ends that slow me down.
