Nick Cavalancia, Microsoft MVP and founder of Techvangelism, puts it simply: 'Windows 10 security features are laser-focused on protecting and preventing current, specific forms of cyberattack.' While popular predecessor Windows 7 prioritized 'securing the endpoint,' Cavalancia notes that the focus was more general: 'Keep the bad. Very small mod to change the Plasma Defender to a Laser Defender. Made by request for u/myghostisdead.

Instead of using oggdec to decode the oggfiles to wav files on disk during the build process, the game now decodes the ogg files directly to memory when the game starts. This is good news for makers of live CDswhere space might be at a premium.

• 'Destiny Face Down', an insane little intro I addedin version 0.10, in which I do my best simultaneous Don Lafontaine and JohnWilliams impressions (neither all that great, I'm afraid.)
• A video of what's current in CVS as of May 6, 2008. I have been meaning to add some kind of 'smart bomb' that the playercan use when he gets in trouble, but didn't want to use some kindof cliche, like the 'smart bomb' that just blows up whatever's on screen. So I had the idea of a kind of 'gravity weapon,' which I'm not sure I'm going to keep. The video'sa little out of focus (sorry). The weapon is sort of like a regular bombin that it's something which drops from your ship, and falls to the ground,but it's invisible, but has a gravitational field like a black hole --sucking in everything around it. When what's around it is a bunch offire -- a kind of tornado of fire forms. If you launch the weapon whiletravelling upwards, the weapon travels in a nice parabola, dragging afirestorm of debris along with it. Pretty cool looking, but has some weird effects (flinging humanoid carrying cron jobs at warp speedacross the terrain). You might think from the video that some fancyOpenGL effects were at work. Not so. There is absolutely nothing but gdk_draw_line() at work here. Not sure I'm going to keep it. Anyway, enjoy the vid (posted 10:30 pm, CDT -- may take awhile for google's videoserver to make it actually viewable.)
• Here is an older video of v. 0.06, circa Apr 11, 2008.
• Here is an older video from Mar 12, 2008 of word war vi v. 0.04.'
• Here's a video that was current as of Feb 16, 2008 (version 0.03, or close to it.)Word war vi video, feb 16, 2008

Downloads -- (Just gimme the wordwarvi-x.xx.tar.gz source tarball please!)

If you're using, say, Fedora Core 8 or 9, you can probably just get wordwarviby using yum, or the Package Manager (select 'Applications', then'Add/Remove Software', then click on 'Search', and type 'wordwarvi')

Likewise, if you're using gentoo, there seems to be some activity to get wordwarvi integrated with portage, so you might try the native gentoo way of getting wordwarvi (emerge, I think it's called -- I'm not a gentoo user, as you might have guessed.). Update, Aug 5, 2008:According to this blog posting, Word War vi is 'now present in the official Portage tree!'See also, this bug report.

Last, but not least by any stretch, if you just want the source to compile youself, here's the download link:get wordwarvi.tar.gz from sourceforge The current version is 0.22, current with CVS as of Aug 3, 2008.

Or, you can get it from CVS (which I would recommend). Do the following at the shell prompt:

Compiling the game

Compiling is easy, after checking out from CVS as above, just type 'make.' You'll need thegnome libraries and header files, which you likely alreadyhave.

You may need to set a couple environment variables:

(I have that in my ~/.login, so I tend to forget about them.)

You'll also need libsndfile (not needed since 0.09)libvorbisfile (needed since 0.09. It's in the libvorbis rpm on redhat based distros, and the vorbisfile package for debian based systems, iirc).

Portaudio: You will need the portaudiolibrary. You will need version 19, not version 18., which there's a good chance you don't already have.These are easily compiled and installed via the traditional'./configure', 'make', and (as root) 'make install'commands. Version 18 is five years old, yet this seemsto be what debian and gentoo linux distros have by default.You need portaudio v. 19. portaudio v. 18 will not work.

I'm told that on Ubuntu, you can install the portaudio19-devpackage, and that this will solve the portaudio problem withoutyou having to compile it yourself. I noticed that there are some instructionsfor compiling Word War vi for Ubuntu users here. (ThanksSavvy Admin!)

If you'reon a distro which uses portaudio v. 18 by default, and you find you need tocompile portaudio19 yourself, you may wish to configurev. 19 to install in /usr/local so as not to conflict, and break default apps which depend on v. 18, and use the LD_LIBRARY_PATHvariable to get wordwarvi to find the new version in /usr/local/lib.I'm not going to rewrite wordwarvi to use portaudio v. 18, libao, SDL mixer, pulseaudio, etc., so don't ask. There are a zillion linux audio libs. If I was going to allow using another one besides portaudio, it would probably be JACK. But don't count on even that.

If you want to compile without the audio librariesyou can do so by typing:

The CVS code also needs oggdec (from the vorbis-tools package) to decode the .ogg filesto .wav files, that is, if audio support is enabled (default). Not since v. 0.09.

Other packages you might need:

• gtk2-devel
• pango-devel
• atk-devel
• vorbis-tools (for oggdec)

A slackware user writes to tell me that on his systemanother program ('espeak' in his case) uses a different version of portaudio. He was able to get wordwarvi to peacefully coexist with espeak by configuring the versionof portaudio that wordwarvi needs to install in /usr/local/lib(presumably, with 'configure --prefix=/usr/local'). Then,presumably, wordwarvi is linked against this via LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Notes for FreeBSD Users: In v. 0.22, I wrapped the xbox-360 controller rumble codewhich relies on /usr/include/linux/input.h with '#ifdef __linux__'.I don't know if FreeBSD has this support for the xbox-360 controller,but if so, since I doubt __linux__ is defined by gcc on FreeBSD,this code will not get compiled in.

Notes for Mac OS X users:I'm told that this file, /usr/include/linux/input.h was also complained about on the Mac. Maybe with these ifdefs, (as of v. 0.22) somebody can try compiling it and maybe it will work as-is. I am told that the game does compile and run on Mac OS X, but no joystick support. Audio works, I'm told. Also you may have tochange to inwordwarvi.c and ogg_to_pcm.c. Robert Daeley has posted a little writeup about building wordwarvi on Mac OS X Leopard onhis web site Celsius 1414.

Running the game

Type

There are a number of command line options, also settable asdefaults via the ~/.wordwarvi/.exrc config file. See the wordwarvi man page for details. If your display resolution is fairly high, which is often the case these days,the game may fail to attain a reasonable frame ratein full screen mode (reasonable = 29.5-ish fps). If you experience this, you might try lowering your display resolution and see if it helps.

• Pressing 'q' puts in a quarter and starts the game.
• Arrow keys (or, of course vi's hjkl keys) to move
• 'z' or spacebar fires signal number -9 (lazer).
• 'b' injects NULL pointer into execution stream (drops a bomb).
• 'c' forks to evade pursuers (throws chaff.)
• 'A' advances to a new level (This is really just for debugging).
• '9' commits suicide (just for debugging.)
• 'v' (xmas mode only) delivers a present.

Joystick and keyboard controls are also reconfigurable viathe ~/.wordwarvi/.exrc config file. See the man page for details.

Bugs

There are some bugs..

• The screensaver will activate during game play. This is becausethere is no 'one' screensaver, there are at least three screensaversin common use: xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver, and kscreensaver,and they provide their own, different ways for a program like wordwarvi to deactivate them. Screw that shit. So, until theseguys get their acts together, you have to disable the screensaver yourself, by whatever means your screensaver provides.Complain to the screensaver guys if you don't like it.
• It will segfault occasionally in the code which generatesbuildings. I think it's overflowing a scratch array whenrecursion happens to get too deep for the arbitrarily chosen'big enough' value I used. Haven't gotten around to fixingthat yet. Haven't seen this in ages, fixed it somewherealong the line.
• Missiles confused by chaff are doubly confused when thechaff disappears (they end up chasing a random object, usuallya spark coming out of your exhaust, which is very nearly theright thing to do, but purely by accident. And, when themissile does hit the spark, you aren't damaged.
• Sometimes a falling humanoid will suddenly disappear and reappearinstantly on the ground. Don't know why that happens.(Update, May 5, 2008: Fixed in CVS.)
• May 4, 2008, I noticed that one of the buttons on the USBgamepad I have will cause a segfault (not a button I normallyuse). Need to debug that one pronto. Update: May 5 -- so far cannot reproduce this bug.
• At the end of the game, You sometimes see which is incorrect. (I think this is fixed now though.)
• On higher levels, the game tends to run out of CPU.The game is too aggressive in adjusting parameters to makeeach level harder than the previous, with no limits, and thingsget a bit out of control. Needs tuning, and a more sophisticatedalgorithm. (This is more or less fixed as of 0.14).
• Selecting a non-existent sound device with the --sounddeviceoption causes a segfault. (Fixed in CVS as of May 5, 2008).
• I've noticed that if firefox is running, and esp. if thereare flash things in the pages firefox is showing (e.g. youtube),performance really sucks. I think it may be whatever audiodevice sharing stuff (pulseaudio?) is going on behind the scenes. In any case, if you notice performance sucking, stop firefox, and see if that makes performance improve.
• Octopi which die by smashing into the ground will corrupt the target list, crashing the game, or makingmost or all things unshootable. (fixed in CVS as of Jun 19, 2008).
• Some things on the ground (laser turrets) have to be hitat the very base before the ships laser has any effect.
• Sometimes, after entering a high score, the program doesn'ttransition back to attract mode right away, but plays all the music through before transitioning. Don't know why.
• Entering high scores can be a bit twitchy with atendency for letters to be entered twice, and no wayto backspace.
• I have seen recently (July 5, 2008 or so) an unexplained segfault. Was not able to reproduce it.
• Three users, one on FreeBSD, one gentoo on x86_64,and one on something else (some kind of linux)have reported the following bug which occurs the instant youpress 'q' to insert a quarter:

  The bug can be avoided by commenting out the call to add_buildings()and the code which frees the memory allocated by add_buildings -- atthe cost that there are no buildings in the game. So, the bug would appear to be somewhere in add_buildings(), but I have not found it yet.Another hint about this bug, the third user experiencing this found thatthe bug did not occur if wordwarvi was run as root (not recommended asa solution, but an interesting clue.) Bug still exists as ofApril, 2009. Any help fixing this properly would be appreciated asI have no clue what's going on, and cannot reproduce the bug myself.Notice also that it's getting SIGABRT, which is unusual.

• I'm sure there are others..

• And, of course, sourceforge.net, for hosting this stuff.

History

I started working on this game on Apr 23, 2007, weekends and nights,just out of boredom. It bears some resemblanceto a DOS game I wrote in Turbo Pascal more than 10 years ago, which I've sincelost.) I put it on Sourceforge May 7, 2007, about 2 weeks later, so progresswas pretty fast. I tried to preserve the commits as they happened, so you can see the program as it evolved from essentially a GTK 'hello world' example program to what it is now. I'm just putting this here in case some kid comes alongand wants to learn from it. It's not the best programming in the world, but it does show fairly small incremental changes from very very simple beginnings to what is here now. So, feel free to browse through the CVS history: and check out older versions of the program and compile and run themand tinker with them.

I made a few short videos showing a progression of older versions of the program leading up to where it is now (Feb 2, 2008).

• Logitech Dual Action Rumble
• Microsoft Xbox 360 controller

The permissions on the/dev/input/event* device nodes will be such that only root can use them. I'llleave it up to you how you want to solve that, whether by running the game asroot (not such a hot idea) chmod'ding or chown'ing the device nodes, orsomething else.

You can customize the gamepad controls via the ~/.wordwarvi/.exrc file.(See the man page for details about the syntax.)

Here are some pictures to help you know what the button and axis numbersare:

• The August 2008 issue of Linux Formatmagazine contains a short review of Word War vi 0.09:

  The above magazine (c) Copyright 2008 Future Publishing reproduced here withpermission.

  When I showed the above review to a non-computer-nerd friend, (and after a lengthy explanation of what 'vi' was, and what 'emacs'was, and what the whole 'editor war' thing was about) he readthe review, and then said, 'Ha! I love how they just toss 'vi' and'emacs' out like everyone knows what those are, but then theyfeel they have to explain what a 'quarter' is.'

  I told him, 'Yeah, well, they're from the UK. They don'tknow what the f*#% a quarter is. They've got the metricsystem over there.'

  Just FYI, their insturctions to use ./configure aren't quite right -- the game hasn't ever beenautoconfiscated -- but I certainly am not going complain about what is a pretty good review. :)

• The August 2008 issue of LinuxUser, has a review (in German) of Word War vi 0.14. Theyaward the game 4 out of 5 Penguins. (Here is Google's English to German translation of Linux User's web site for the August issue.). If Google's translation isto be trusted, the review sums things up in this way:'Word War Vi is a game in the classic arcade style, in terms of gameplay easily keep up with modern games.'
• Here is the google translation of a review by Michael Astapchik. Here is the original (in Russian, I think). I love this review, even though I can't read Russion. I love the crazy way thatGoogle translates it. I love the words that it can't translate, yet which arestill sort of recognizable, for instance, it mentions 'Kazualnye games,' which Ican only assume are 'casual games.' And 'geymeru' is presumably, 'gamer.' Other words are indecipherable to me, but this makes the whole review feel like an only partially decoded alien artifact, while at the same time it has acomfortable familiarity. Thanks Michael Astapchik, you made my day!

Note: Obviously, emacs is a fine editor and this is all verytongue in cheek, so don't be getting all bent out of shape because you likeemacs better than vi, mmm-kay?
