Galcon was originally created for the April 2006 Ludum Dare competition. It won the contest with first places in four categories and second place in the fifth.

The game was developed over the six months after the LD competition. It now includes 7 different computer opponents, network play, much improved graphics, etc.

Galcon uses pygame, pgu, and pyplus to create some swig extensions for the graphically intense parts of the game.

Changes

A mod system has been added into Galcon. The mod system allows users to customize Galcon with python scripts to add new bots, game rules, and other features into the single player game. The net game security has been tightened so that Cabin Boys are further limited. Lastly, this release includes some more enhancement to the tab-completion and a few minor bug fixes.
