Description
This is essentially soccer played with tanks. Up to 8 teams of ?unlimited? players can compete. AI players provided.
Technical notes:
This game runs well on 133 MHz or faster CPUs.
Running the game involves having some familiarity with x servers. Here is one possible way to run it:
vnc4server :2 -cc 3 -depth 8 -geometry 640x480 -localhost # start an x server
xvnc4viewer :2 # view your new x server
battleball hostcomputer:2 comp,comp # start a battle ball game with a human player on the x server on hostcomputer and two AI players.
This game is in the ubuntu universe repository. However, due to the x server wrangling required to play, it is not tagged ubuntu at this time. It installs with a complex command-line menu item automatically. But this fails to run.
