<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">On Monday, August 15th
at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by Aviv Sharon:</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"> 0 A.D. Revisited</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"> (And Perhaps a
Few Words About Wikimania 2011)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Abstract</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">0 A.D. is a FOSS game
of ancient warfare, belonging to a genre of games called Real-Time
Strategy (RTS). It is mostly implemented in C++, along with scripts in
JavaScript, and runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
The game was last presented at Haifux in December 2009 and has
developed tremendously since then, with advances in graphics, A*
pathfinding, opponent AI and more. Aviv will demonstrate some of the
new features of the game of particular interest to Comp Sci people and
explain how he manages the PR and social media aspect of a volunteer
FOSS project.
Probable bonus: Pictures and experiences from Wikimania 2011, where
Aviv is set to assist the organizers with media and PR aspects. </p>
