Introduction 0012 --------------- 0013 0014 Atlantik is a KDE client for playing Monopoly-like games on the monopd 0015 network. 0016 0017 Purpose of the Atlantic board game is to acquire land in major cities in 0018 North America and Europe while being a transatlantic traveller. One of the 0019 game modes plays like the popular real estate board game based on Atlantic 0020 City street names. 0021 0022 Atlantik was previously known as KMonop and might still be referred to as 0023 such in some documentation. 0024 0025 2. Download 0026 ----------- 0027 0028 Atlantik can be downloaded from 0029 0030 http://unixcode.org/atlantik/ 0031 0032 and monopd can be downloaded from 0033 0034 http://unixcode.org/monopd/ 0035 0036 However, the latest versions of both projects are found in CVS. 0037 0038 Atlantik is located in the CVS repository of the KDE project in the module 0039 kdegames. See http://www.kde.org/anoncvs.html for instructions how to 0040 download KDE modules from CVS. Atlantik is included in the kdegames package 0041 since the KDE 3.1 release. 0042 0043 For more information on monopd CVS see the monopd pages on 0044 http://sourceforge.net/projects/monopd/ 0045 0046 Both monopd and Atlantik are in heavy development and it is important to match 0047 versions when connecting to a game server. One can choose a suitable server 0048 through the Monopigator interface. 0049 0050 3. Mailinglists 0051 --------------= 0052 0053 There are mailinglists available for discussion of Atlantik development. The 0054 atlantik-devel list is for general discussion and development of the 0055 codebase, the atlantik-cvs list has all the CVS commits in it and the 0056 atlantik-artists list is for the development of GFX/SFX for Atlantik. 0057 0058 See http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/atlantik-devel 0059 See http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/atlantik-cvs 0060 and http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/atlantik-artists 0061 0062 on information on subscribing, posting and list archives. 0063 0064 There is a seperate mailinglist for monopd related discussion: 0065 0066 To subscribe, send e-mail to: monopd-devel-subscribe@lists.capsi.com 0067 To post, send e-mail to: monopd-devel@lists.capsi.com 0068 0069 4. Roadmap 0070 ---------- 0071 0072 The TODO file gives a nice approximation of desired functionality and 0073 priorities. It can be used as roadmap or checklist. 0074 0075 5. Designer 0076 ----------- 0077 0078 Atlantik Designer is a game board designer that will create game config 0079 files for monopd. You can find it in KDE CVS, module kdeaddons. 0080 0081 6. Legal issues 0082 --------------- 0083 0084 Many people have expressed their concerns about possible copyrights, 0085 trademarks and patents applicable to Monopoly® and the possible implications 0086 for Atlantik (and monopd) development and distribution. 0087 0088 I believe that Atlantik and monopd are completely clear of violating any 0089 copyrights, trademarks or patents and that there are no legal issues that 0090 might affect development or distibution of either application. 0091 0092 For more information, please read 0093 0094 http://unixcode.org/atlantik/legal.html
