LINUXGAMES

Version 0.2.0 of the primary Thousand Parsec client has been released. Thousand Parsec is a turn-based space empire-building game framework; changes to tpclient-pywx include:

• Request Pipelineing. Faster downloads on fast connections and on connections with high ping times.
• Automatic Media Downloading. The client will now download the required media of the web.
• Animated Planet Graphics. There are now cool animated planet graphics and other graphics displayed in the information screen.
• Account Creation Support. You can now create an account on servers straight from the client.
• Design Support. You can now create ships, torpedoes or any other object that the server supports. Properties and requirements of designs are calculated locally using a Scheme based language called tpcl.
• Message Reference Support. Servers can now say that messages refer to certain objects and the GOTO button will take you to them.
• Better Caching. Better support for universe caching and only downloading what has changed.
