Description

Rasterbike is a clone of the game Matrix-Blaster from the movie Tron.
Teams of Light-Cycles which leave energy walls behind them try to crash each other into those walls to gain points. The game supports networking and is designed to be portable.

Rasterbike includes:

a server which handles every operation a player can do, so before you play a game, you have to start the server. (Currently there is only a UNIX console program)
a ncurses-based console client. At the moment it does support the basic features only, at least those features are all the server currently supports :-)
a gtk-based client. It has the same functionality as the ncurses client but of course some graphical improvements, too. (please take a look at some Screenshots)
a simple bot program which gives the ability to play against a non-human controlled player.
a sort of a library to help developers who want to write other clients.

Rasterbike is completely written in the C programming language and released under the GNU GPL v2.
