Antares is based on Ares_, a game developed by `Nathan Lamont`_, and

released for the classic Mac OS in 1996. After a re-release by `Ambrosia

Software`_ and a major expansion which added support for plug-ins, the

game fell into obscurity, as it was not ported to Mac OS X. However, in

2008, the source code was released. Antares is a port of that code to

modern systems.

There are several issues that need to be fixed before the 1.0 release;

the issue tracker contains a `list of them`_. After they are fixed,

Antares will have feature parity with Ares in all respects except for

multiplayer. The timeline for multiplayer is less certain.

Building Antares

----------------

`The long version is here`_. The short version is::

    $ ./configure

    $ make

You may need to install some extra software first; the configure script

will give you instructions if so.

Running Antares

---------------

The short version is::

    $ make run

A launcher will appear, letting you choose a plugin to play. By default,

the original Ares scenario will be listed. There aren’t any video

settings; just resize or maximize the window and Antares will adapt to

the new size.

On Linux, you can also install the game::

    $ sudo make install

This will install the game to /usr/local/games/antares, by default.

On Mac, you can put the game anywhere you’d like::

    $ mv out/cur/Antares.app /Applications
