High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! XPilot is a multiplayer computer game. It is open source and runs on many platforms. Although its 2D graphics have improved over time, they still resemble the style of Asteroids. Gameplay includes Capture the Flag, base defense, racing and deathmatches. XPilot uses a client-server architecture, in which a central metaserver receives information from all XPilot servers on the Internet. In 1991, Bj rn Stabell and Ken Schouten, then computer science undergraduates at the University of Troms , began writing XPilot, inspired by the earlier game Thrust. It was originally developed in C on HP9000 workstations which ran Unix. Soon after its first public release in 1992, Stabell and Schouten began receiving feedback, suggestions, and patches from players all around the world. Other XPilot users wrote documentation and contributed source code to the project. By 1996, there were nearly one hundred XPilot servers worldwide.
