I am yet again pleased to announce another release of Nebular Gauntlet.  
It is a quick release, but there are many new features and fixes  
including a new map (sp\_planets) and new images for several entities.  
You can check out the new screenshots at  
[http://www.nebulargauntlet.org/trac/ng/wiki/Screenshots/0.3](http://www.nebulargauntlet.org/trac/ng/wiki/Screenshots/0.3).  
Also, I am looking for someone to help out with the network programming  
for the game in the future. I have tried to learn, but I am not very  
experienced and I would love it if someone who is more experienced could  
just help out and look over my code and give some pointers.

Thanks,  
Steven D.

Hi Steven,

My name is Ramsey. I’m an experienced network programmer (UNIX, Mac  
OS X, Windows) and I’d be happy to review your networking code for you.
