Slingshot was created by Jonathan Musther and Bart Mak.
The old website used to be www.slingshot-game.org
Slingshot was unmaintained by 2008 and the old website had disappeared by
2008/2009.
It was later extended in 2009 by Marcus Dreier <m-rei@gmx.net>. He:
- Added network support
- Fixed crashing when pressing cursors at welcome and help screen
- Added fine adjustments for all keyboard bindings (shift, ctrl, alt)
- Replaced the deprecated range function with xrange
- Removed some of pygame's deprecation warnings
- Switched to a more consistent code format
Slingshot is currently maintained by Ryan Kavanagh <ryanakca@kubuntu.org>. If
someone is interested in helping with upstream maintainership and give slingshot
some love, please feel free.

Slingshot is a two-dimensional strategy game where two players attempt to shoot
one another through a section of space populated by planets. The main feature
of the game is that the shots, once fired, are affected by the gravity of the
planets.
