A game prototype about bugs

Bugs was a prototype for a turn-based strategy game about bugs (hence the clever working title).

I eventually decided that trying to come up with mechanics that fit the theme was too much additional burden beyond just creating a workable basic TBS design, so I abandoned the prototype and moved on to a prototype using "standard" tanks, infantry, etc. called Bang (there we go again with the clever titles).

That eventually evolved into Bang! Howdy which shipped and (sort of) still runs today.

This all unfortunately predates my use of the Maven Ant tasks, so if you want to build it you have to track down ye olde versions of all the libraries in lib/BANG_LIBS. Maybe I'll modernize the build at some point just for kicks. In my copious spare time.
