Hi,

Not (at all) that I contributed code into glob2 (I only worked on
the debian packaging a while back). Apart from that I am mostly
a consumer/player.

But I am just willing to thank Stéphane and Luc-Olivier for starting
this project, which is indeed very interesting, and for bringing it to
what it is now.

Glob2 is much more innovative than most commercial games (3D blah
 blah), and that's just one great thing about Free Software (and Free
Games).

Cya,

Vincent

PS : I can't wait for alpha20 :-P
