The '42 Project

This is the homepage of the open-source '42 project. '42 is a more or less a clone of the 1943 arcade game. It is written in C++ and uses the SDL and SDL_image libraries as well as Guile 1.6 for AI code. The images are provided by SpriteLib, a free image library. It is also intended to provide a simple codebase for developing similar 2D shoot-em-up games by plugging in custom graphics, Scheme AI code and data files.
