1. Introduction
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Atlantik is a KDE client for playing Monopoly-like games on the monopd
|
|
|
network.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Purpose of the Atlantic board game is to acquire land in major cities in
|
|
|
North America and Europe while being a transatlantic traveller. One of the
|
|
|
game modes plays like the popular real estate board game based on Atlantic
|
|
|
City street names.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Atlantik was previously known as KMonop and might still be referred to as
|
|
|
such in some documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Download
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Atlantik can be downloaded from
|
|
|
|
|
|
http://unixcode.org/atlantik/
|
|
|
|
|
|
and monopd can be downloaded from
|
|
|
|
|
|
http://unixcode.org/monopd/
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, the latest versions of both projects are found in CVS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Atlantik is located in the CVS repository of the KDE project in the module
|
|
|
kdegames. See http://www.kde.org/anoncvs.html for instructions how to
|
|
|
download KDE modules from CVS. Atlantik is included in the kdegames package
|
|
|
since the KDE 3.1 release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more information on monopd CVS see the monopd pages on
|
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/monopd/
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both monopd and Atlantik are in heavy development and it is important to match
|
|
|
versions when connecting to a game server. One can choose a suitable server
|
|
|
through the Monopigator interface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Mailinglists
|
|
|
--------------=
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are mailinglists available for discussion of Atlantik development. The
|
|
|
atlantik-devel list is for general discussion and development of the
|
|
|
codebase, the atlantik-cvs list has all the CVS commits in it and the
|
|
|
atlantik-artists list is for the development of GFX/SFX for Atlantik.
|
|
|
|
|
|

4. Roadmap
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
The TODO file gives a nice approximation of desired functionality and
|
|
|
priorities. It can be used as roadmap or checklist.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Designer
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Atlantik Designer is a game board designer that will create game config
|
|
|
files for monopd. You can find it in KDE CVS, module kdeaddons.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Legal issues
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many people have expressed their concerns about possible copyrights,
|
|
|
trademarks and patents applicable to Monopoly<6C> and the possible implications
|
|
|
for Atlantik (and monopd) development and distribution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I believe that Atlantik and monopd are completely clear of violating any
|
|
|
copyrights, trademarks or patents and that there are no legal issues that
|
|
|
might affect development or distibution of either application.
