OpenFracas

OpenFracas is a free, open-source game that is similar in style to Risk. On randomly generated and customizable maps, humans are pitted against other humans and AIs in an attempt to eliminate all other players or teams.

OpenFracas is dedicated to the continuation of the game Fracas.

To run from source
OpenFracas is written in Ruby. To run the game, type `ruby ./Main.rb` from the top-level directory for the source.

OpenFracas requires ruby >= 1.8, ruby/gtk, sdl-ruby (with mixer support) and libglade2-ruby >= 0.16 in order to run. Exact package names may vary depending on your distribution.

-Bug Fixes
* Crash when selecting a replacement capital.
* Crash (Segmentation fault) in Ubuntu 8.10 after generating a custom map.

Ubuntu 8.10 users may still encounter instability with OpenFracas 0.6.1 due to another bug in the "libcairo-ruby" package. I am addressing this issue via a bug report on Launchpad
