Liquid War rules have been invented by
Thomas Colcombet.
</text>
<text>
He was trying to find algorithms to find the shortest path
from one point to another, and found the Liquid War
algorithm. Then it came to his mind that a game could
be build upon this algorithm, and Liquid War was born.
He programmed the first two versions of Liquid War
using Borland Pascal for DOS, and gave me some information
about the algorithm so that I could re-program it.

I'm the guy who programmed the latest versions of Liquid War.
I enhanced the algorithms, and did quite a bunch of work
to have the game playable by (almost) anyone, that's to
say create a correct GUI.

As Liquid War is now free software, protected by the GPL,
anyone is allowed to view, edit, modify, re-compile
the source code, and distribute it, as long as Liquid
War is still distributed under the GPL.

<text>
Here's a list of the contributors:
</text>

<elem>
Alstar: drew a map, which is now included in the main distribution.

Peter Wang: ported Liquid War to GNU/Linux.
</elem>
<elem>
Cort Danger Stratton : helped me setting up network support.
</elem>
<elem>
Tim Chadburn : wrote midi files for the game. His contribution has
been truely appreciated since it's rather hard to find GNU GPL
compliant artwork. He also wrote documentation and helped with
midi support in general.
</elem>
<elem>
Jan Gretschuskin : contributed 11 maps, and made the German
translation. So if you run Liquid War with German menus, you
know who you have to thank -> Jan! 8-)
