"Commander" is an XScreenSaver module which draws spaceships from the 1980s computer game "Elite".
Some assembly of these components may be required, but the doit
script should get you most of the way through the build process.
Implementation notes and to-do list are in notes.txt and a reasonably
comprehensive manual page is provided.
The ship data in commander.h was produced (via shape_to_h) from
the original Elite data. The source code is available from
http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/bbc/ and contains
"(C)Bell/Braben1984"
but no licence is given, and my emails to them asking about licensing have sadly gone unanswered.
Many thanks to Jamie Zawinksi for XScreenSaver, parts of which are (re)used here; also to Vasek Potocek, the author of cubicgrid.c which was a huge help while I was cobbling this together.
