Infon Battle Arena is a networked multiplayer real-time programming game featuring little creatures fighting for food. You upload your Creature Code (written in Lua) to a game server using a telnet Interface.

The game server then runs your code. The graphical client can be used to watch running games or replay recorded games.

Requirements:
· Linux: tested with Gentoo on i386. It should compile on other distributions without problems.
· Kubuntu edgy (libsdl1.2debian 1.2.10-3ubuntu1, libsdl-gfx1.2-4 2.0.13-2 [ln -s libSDL_gfx.so.4 libSDL_gfx.so.13], libsdl-sge 030809-3ubuntu1, libevent1 1.1a-1)

What's New in This Release:
· This release adds a new rendering architecture that allows different output plugins for the client.
· The server can now load precompiled code and offers new commands for both users and administrators.
· It also offers a competition mode that allows automated fights between bots.
