+Scorched3D is a cross-platform 3D remake of the popular 2D artillery game
+Scorched Earth. Scorched3D can be played against the computer, other players,
+and remotely across the Internet or LAN.
+
+This requires either wxGTK or wxPython, plus OpenAL, and freealut.
+All of these are available at SlackBuilds.org.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
