NewtonWars

NewtonWars is a space battle game. Gravity is the main theme, influencing the path of your missiles around numerous planets on the battlefield.

It is heavily inspired by Gravitational Combat.

The game is best played in "party mode" with the display on a TV or projector and each participant connected via telnet (with a laptop or smartphone). Other possible modes (i.e. local hot-seat multiplayer) are currently not implemented, but may be added later.
