Boson, a real-time strategy game
--------------------------------

What is it ?
Boson is an OpenGL real-time strategy game, with the feeling of
Command&Conquer(tm) or StarCraft(tm) and OpenGL support.
It is designed to run on Unix (Linux) computers, and is built on top of the libkdegames, kde and Qt libraries.
A minimum of two players is required, since there is no artificial intelligence yet.
