Also some attacks should still get special effects other than damage and healing. More philosophers are planned, so don't complain, if your favourite philosopher is not in the crowd.\r\n\r\nThe downloadable version runs in Java, so to play it you need to have the Java virtual machine installed.\r\nUnder Windows just double-click the .jar file.\r\nUnder Linux run `java -jar philosophers_battle.jar` in a terminal.\r\n\r\n-------\r\nMade by Stephan W\u00e4ldchen & Marcus Hoffmann\r\nThe game is programmed using the libGDX framework (http:\/\/libgdx.badlogicgames.com\/) and uses some things from their default UI skin.\r\nGraphics made in Gimp.\r\n\r\n-------\r\nCHANGELOG:\r\nEdit1: Fixed a few typos and missing line breaks.\r\nEdit2: Web Version now available!\r\nEdit3: Added a post-compo version. A few balancing changes, a few bugs fixed and added character win and lose quotes.","title":"Philosophers Battle"}
