About Avoid The Roid 3D
Avoid The Roid by Bill Jordan is a 3D asteroids like game I wrote.
The current released version is 0.6.
The game is written in c++ and uses unix sockets for networking, pthreads
for the thread library, OpenGL for the graphics library, glut for windows
and input, and OpenAL for audio. Avoid The Roid has been tested and runs
on Linux and Windows 2000/XP, although Linux is the best supported platform.

Requirements
OpenAL is required for sound. It can be obtained here.
The binary distribution of Avoid The Roid is statically linked against OpenAL,
so no additional download is necessary. It is necessary to obtain OpenAL
to build Avoid The Roid with sound from source. In addition, OpenGL and
glut 3.7 or later is required for all platforms. Both OpenGL and glut 3.7
come with Redhat 6.2 and up, and with cygwin under Windows. The binary
