Netzack is a Java remake of the classic dos game "Achtung, die Kurve!", which is also known as "Zatacka". The main difference between the original implementation and this remake is that this version is designed for playing over a network, hence the name: NETworked ZAtaCKa -> netzack. The name is also, obviously, a tribute to the legendary game Nethack.
The game is also designed to be easy to use. For example the only things you need to start playing is a cool nickname and a groovy color and then you're ready to play!
Netzack uses the peer-to-peer netwok model and therefore there is no need for someone to host the game, a new player search the local network and connects to any other player he/she can find.
Done jet. But I'm working on it. If you want to help or submit changes you've made, please stop by the projects homepage at Savannah.
