Author's Description: LightSword Bowling was a program that I put together as part of project for my CSI 155 (C++) college course. I wanted a cool game that I could show on the projector on the screen to show off some of the cool things you could do with C++ besides
textmode programs. The game proved to be pretty fun so I decided to release it over the net.

It supports:
*Up to 6 players max.
*Full compliance with the standard rules of of 10 pin bowling.
*6 characters from my unfinished RPG, Contention's Spawn
to choose from.
*Groovy 2D graphics and animation.
*Linux (source code), Windows, and DOS Versions.

I'm looking for someone who wants to make sound effects for this game (being that mine are always crappy), Email me if interested.

• 6Graphics are good, but I'd really like a higher resolution. (Get rid of the useless background effect, if necessary.) Gameplay is good, but lack of sound effects and decent menus lower the overall impression.

• 8A school project? Amazing work. I wish I had that kind of talent when I was taking C++. Great game, fun, and graphics are what you can expect for a bowling game.
