Go for it.

Sounds reasonable. Did you ever get a chance to finish the graphics
update you were doing for the Wizards game?

I have meaning to take BA off the "finished" list for months now. In the
new prerelease that I am about to announce, that has finally been
done. Maybe some day (some day far, far away from now), I will be able
to sit down with BA II and release that instead. The original BA was
simply my GDL teething experience; it was never intended to be release
quality; the version string only indicated it was alpha or beta.
>and Wreckreation, because
Wreckreation was only a testbed. I was working on another version for a
while that would have been a real game. I don't believe that
Wreckreation even shows up in the "finished" games list in the Tcl/Tk
interface.
Anyway,
Release Announcement:
A new source tarball and Windows installer is available at the usual
location:
http://xconq_hacker.home.comcast.net
A feature request and a bug report by "ryuuguu" have been addressed
since the 11/10 release of the Windows installer.
Also, a new image file that I may have forgotten to include in the
previous prerelease is now in this one. The new images are by
"gPETERsz", a talented artist who hangs out in the Xconq.org fora.
Enjoy,
Eric
