Pasang Emas 3.1.0

Pasang Emas is a traditional game of Brunei.<br /><br />In this game, black and white tokens are arranged on a playing board, forming a pattern. There is a catalogue of more than 30 different patterns. Many of these patterns resemble embroideries commonly seen on kain songket or kain tenun, Brunei's traditional cloth.<br /><br />Two players take turn capturing these tokens, scoring 1 point for each black token and 2 points for each white one. The game ends when the board is empty, or when a player runs out of moves.<br /><br />Pasang is commonly played during celebrations of royal weddings and the annual birthday festival of the Sultan of Brunei.<br /><br />Pasang Emas brings this unique game to your computer.<br /><br />Pasang Emas is developed and tested on Debian stable. We restrict our choice of software libraries to those found in the stable repository. Given the conservativeness of Debian stable, Pasang Emas should compile and run on practically all the latest Linux distros, unless there are some drastic changes in the library interfaces.<br /><br />Pasang Emas should also compile and run on BSD and Hurd distros, though we haven't confirmed this yet.<br /><br />Here are some key features of "Pasang Emas":<br /><br />Virtual opponents:<br /><br />?*A* Pasang Emas gives you several virtual opponents that will tirelessly play against you. An absolute beginner may like to play against the easy going Cakoi while a seasoned master may like to compete against the unforgiving Kambayau. (To be accurate, Pasang Emas gives you 1000 different virtual opponents. Most are nameless and are identified only by numbers).<br /><br />Demo:<br /><br />?*A* In addition to the Help menu, you can learn the game by watching a virtual player compete against another.<br /><br />Themes:<br /><br />?*A* Pasang Emas can be themed. There is a separate theme package available. In addition, if you are artistic, you can easily create your own theme.<br /><br />Multilingualization:<br /><br />?*A* Pasang Emas is multi-lingual. We consider Malay to be the primary language for Pasang Emas, though our development tools insist that English is the primary language.<br /><br />?*A* Translation to Arabic is partial, and whatever there currently is needs to be polished.<br /><br />?*A* Translations to other languages are welcome.
