ACM is a LAN-oriented, multiplayer aerial combat simulation. The main design objective was to provide source code that could be easily compiled and executed on a wide variety of platforms. To that end, acm is written entirely in C, exploiting the programming features of Unix, X11, and the BSD socket interface. A Windows/95 version is also available. Players engage in air to air combat against one another using heat seeking missiles and cannons. ACM is implemented as a distributed simulation. It communicates information via the IEEE Distributed Interactive Simulation protocol (IEEE 1278.1-1994). This should allow ACM to interoperate with other simulations that support that protocol.
