Some things you can do with the program without having to look at the source code: You can change the appearance of the program by putting in your own pictures for the
explosions, powerups, and projectiles,
or you can
design your own arenas
by simply modifying some txt-files in the game folder.
If you want to use and change the code of the game, you can do so freely as long as you comply with the terms of the
GNU license.
ALife Games is working on new projects, and does not support bSerene
any more. If you're interested, however,
this is the list of things we
consider most important for anyone who wants to turn
bSerene into a first class game.
