12 Have the mascots of your favorite free software battle in the Wormux
13 arena. Using dynamite, grenades, baseball bat and others weapons...
14 exterminate your opponent in a 2D toon style scenery and a funny envi‐
15 ronment.
16 Each player (2 minimum, on the same PC) controls the team of his choice
18 (tux, gnu, firefox, wilber,...) and must destroy his adversary using
19 more or less casual weapons.
20 Although a minimum of strategy is required to vanquish, Wormux is pre-
22 eminently a "convivial mass murder" game where, turn by turn, each mem‐
23 ber of each team attempts to produce a maximum of damage to his oppo‐
24 nents.
