Danger from the deep

The latest release of Danger from the Deep is 0.3.0, while the simulation is very playable it is also under heavy development and is considered alpha quality but your ideas and suggestions will shape the future of DftD and we would love to here from you even if it’s just to confirm DftD works for you. Please notice that the 0.3.0 is outdated and  a lot of things are added or rewritten in the current svn version. So please post no bug reports for 0.3.0.

We use the build system scons, so to compile a debug version try the command:

Explanation of the options:

• debug=1 Makes the build debug (valid values are 0-3)
