Hi,

we proudly announce our Ascal 0.1.0 "Remember the greatest race driver of  
all times - Schumi wir werden dich vermissen" release.

Ascal is a Gnome Version of the board game Lasca (or Laska).

* What is it ?
==============
Lasca is a game similar to Draughts but with some really cool  
enhancements. In a future release you'll find a great description in the  
help system of Ascal. In the meantime the article on Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasca and
http://research.interface.co.uk/lasca/about.htm

will help you understanding the rules. Ascal tries to give a great Gnome  
experience of Lasca for one and two players. You can undo moves, save and  
load games and all that on a nifty graphical board.

* Where to get it ?
===================

We don't have a website atm but you can download it from
http://sf.net/projects/ascal/


* What's changed ?
==================
* Better AI
* i18n possibility
* German translation
* Beginning of Desktop integration
