383 -1 1999-06-13 21:02:57 <em>Category:</em> Game-related Utility<br> <em>Description:</em> GameStalker makes use of a client server model when searching for games. A zpdb (Zero-ping Database) server keeps a constantly refreshed list of Q2 and Q3A servers. GameStalker queries against this constantly refreshed list of servers to find the games you want to play in. <p> One of the reasons traditional server browsers take so long to refresh is because they are calculating the almighty ping for every server in the list, even though there are thousands of them you will never play on. <p> Many people, while concerned with ping, have other priorities, at least initially. For instance, you may want to just find a friend or clan member, or a particular game (lithium, wf, etc). This is where GameStalker can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes you to find these games. Queries against the zpdb take only a few seconds instead of several minutes. GameStalker 1.02 new

388 -1 1999-06-17 12:08:33 <img src="/images/thumbs/xracer-shot-04.gif" align=right width=200 height=150><em>Category:</em> Under development - not yet playable<br> <em>Description:</em> XRacer is the beginnings of a wipeout clone. At present it is very incomplete. In the next few weeks I will be adding support for: <ul> <li>better game physics <li>instrument panel <li>time trial and arcade modes <li>LAN play </ul> I'm looking for people who want to design tracks, particularly if they can suggest existing 3D modellers that we can use for this purpose. I estimate about 10% of the work involved in cloning Wipeout is the game engine and about 90% is track design. <p> <em><b>BZ:</b> People keep asking me if I know of any racing games for Linux. Here's your chance to jump in and help create one. XRacer 0.1 new
