 With the advent of fujinet (https://fujinet.online/) we are thinking about making the game interplanetary, err, with multiplayer over the net. We'll see.

+Happy Easter! This is a "premature ejacu.." err... "premature optimization" build. I got into an optimization fewer and got the code messed up, having to revert to the base. One important ticket closed:
+- https://github.com/pkali/scorch_src/issues/35 Two morons shooting each other for more than 5 minutes. Added a new option "Seppuku". It causes one of the tanks ashamed with their inefficiency to detonate the weapon on itself. This was quite a difficult addition, requiring me to understand large swaths of the code, always a great challenge. Smoother gameplay with AIs guaranteed or money back.
+Other small fixes:
+- https://github.com/pkali/scorch_src/issues/23 High flying MIRV leaves traces. Not anymore.
+- https://github.com/pkali/scorch_src/issues/12 Make soil fall down faster after soil eating weapons. Soil eating range is OK, it is the soil down routine that is slow (but visually attractive).
