air traffic controller game for emacs

air traffic controller game for emacs

[bar tomas]

Hi,
Do you know where I can download the Air Traffic Controller for Emacs?
I saw a version at
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Games/Arcade/atc-1.0/ but I get
an error when trying to access the ftp link. Also, it seems to require
make, and I'm on a win xp environment.
Thansk very much.

It seems to me that it's the classical bsd-games atc, with an emacs
mode to display it in an emacs buffer. 

So if you want to play with atc on MS-Windows, you could  download the
bsd-games package, which includes atc.
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/linux/games/bsd-games-2.17.tar.gz

and use cygwin to compile it:

   http:/www.cygwin.com
   http:/www.cygwin.com/setup.exe

This installs on MS-Windows some unix tools, including gcc and make.


There may be needed some patch to the sources, if you google for
bsd-games cygwin you will see some discussions about porting bsd-games
to cygwin.
