Boson 0.7 Released
11/11/2002 09:22 PMRelease of Boson 0.7, a Real Time Strategy (RTS) game for the K
Desktop Environment. Version 0.7 of Boson is primarily a port to
OpenGL. This means the game must now be hardware accelerated with a
video card (assuming you want to actually play the game and not admire
how pretty it is). However, OpenGL also allows our developers to
further enhance the game with special effects.
Boson currently requires a minimum of 2 players due to lack of an
artificial intelligence and is *not* yet playable. We are in need of
more developers and graphics artists. If you have any spare time and
the ability to code in Qt/C++ or you know your way around a graphics
editor, we would appreciate the help.
The map editor has returned! It is still not fully functional but maps
are modifiable and you can add and delete units and buildings.
List of major new features since 0.6.1:
- Units and buildings are now all drawn with OpenGL, each with their
own 3d model.
- New particle system, which allows for explosions, fire and smoke
- Upgrade support (experimental)
- Multiple weapon per unit support (experimental)
- Visible missile support (experimental)
- Support for unit animation (currently only used for com-sat)
- Improved cursor configurability
- Pathfinding has been improved even more to make movement smarter
- Documentation has been greatly improved
- Many bug fixes
To compile and install Boson, you will need the following:
- Gcc, Gnu make (http://www.gnu.org)
- Qt 3.0.x (http://www.trolltech.com)
- KDE 3.x (http://www.kde.org)
- lib3ds (http://lib3ds.sourceforge.net)
note: You need at minimum kdelibs, kdebase, arts, kdegames, and
kdemultimedia. If you are using precompiled packages (such as rpms and
debs), make sure you have the devel- packages for each.
Installing Boson:
There are two methods of installing Boson from tarballs. The easier
way is to grab boson-all-0.7.tar.bz2. However, that file is very big,
and if you are on a slow connection, you may wish to simply get the
code and data packages.
The required packages can be found at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15087
Let me say that again: download either boson-all or both boson-code
and boson-data. Do not waste your time downloading all three!
If you decided to grab the individual packages, you can optionally
download the music files (it is included in the -all package).
The installation itself:
Decompress the package(s):
% tar xjvf
cd into each directory and:
% ./configure
% make
As root:
# make install
Tarball checksums and sizes for the paranoid:
File name Size MD5 Checksum
boson-all-0.7.tar.bz2 35 MB ab46f3432d10d144a37348377030b590

boson-music-0.7.tar.bz2 16 MB 650a3fbda64d884b63fb2e139212a144
note: To get the checksum of a file, type:
% md5sum
The Boson Team
(Back by popular demand)
The prologue:
General Andreas and his minions Rivo, Felix, Ben, Thomas and Scott had
narrowly escaped doom
(http://boson.sourceforge.net/stories/story-20021017.php) by somehow
shutting down the Boson Particle generator. No, we don't know how
either.
The scene:
The good General is in the briefing room discussing the imminent
launch of an assault on a nearby military base.
Currently present: Andi, Felix, Rivo, Timo and Scott.
* Andi joins #boson
How are we doing?
Sir! Both the eastern assault first and second wave divisions are
ready to go.
And our defenses?
Looking good sir.
Analysis of the enemy?
We can expect some light resistance from their sam sites and pill
boxes but strangely their tanks don't fire back.
A strange 'dying scream' sound comes from Timo's mouth. Everybody
looks at him. Andi shakes his head.
Ah yes, I keep meaning to add in support for that.
Everybody in the room nods knowingly.
When can we proceed with the assault?
We should be ready to head out on the 10th.
The day of the second year of the revival, how fitting.
* Scott mutters "Here it comes.."
This time I *WILL* succeed! They *WILL* tremble at my feet!
* Andi cackles like a madman... again
Déja vu...
AH TTACKING!
Dude, will you shut up!?

“Researchers from the University of Cambridge in England, the
National University of Singapore and the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology have devised a relatively simple way to transfer data
between quantum bits, or qubits. The method is a step toward building
quantum computers, which have the potential to solve certain types of
very large problems many orders of magnitude faster than is possible
using classical computers.”…
