Because creating a brand new website is one of the first steps in building a good Sourceforge presence I decided to manage the website via CVS. Project members may contribute their work for the site via the "htdocs" project in the final-empire Repository.

The old, very slow graphic engine has gone. We have a new, very slow engine. :-) It is in the CVS. Now we have a new graphic format and we will be able to optimize it by doing very basic block-copy-operations in C/C++. This will be the next phase.

We use graphic scripts for creating scalable pictures. There are not much scripts up to now so many things will show up as blocks but Michaela is working on this from now on. Feel free to use the "Grafikeditor" menuitem to do it yourself.

Final Empire, a clone of the classic game "Empire deluxe", is now on SourceForge. The project ist in a pre-beta-state. There will be a playable version about end of this year. You may support us. We need Perl programmers for Linux and Windows, a graphic artist and someone who wants to design the website.
