==What is Project Xenocide?==

'''Project Xenocide''' is an [[open source]] game inspired on [[X-COM]] the classic game from Microprose (now Atari Entertainment).
Everyone is welcome to try and contribute to the project by posting in the project's [http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?s=ba49309c7bf15c3366ef4905bbdaee07&showforum=258 forums], within the [http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?showforum=103 Lobby/Recruitment Center].

Historically Xenocide had been a C++ developed game, using the platform-independent [[OGRE3D|Ogre 3D]] graphics engine.  In recent months however a new branch based on Microsoft XNA has been taking over the development teams interest.  The goal is to create a game combining two main phases of play: a strategic "planetview" to manage resources and bases on a global scale, and a "battleview" to match player-controlled units against alien soldiers in turn-based combat.

Depending on the country where the original game was released, [[X-COM: UFO Defense]] is also known as [[UFO: Enemy Unknown]]. There have been several sequels to this game, all of which are the sole property of [[Atari]]. This project does not use any of the code from these software titles; it is a completely new program inspired by these titles.

==Development==

On October 24 a new public Progress Release has been made available. That Progress Release bearing the Minor Number 02 features employee management, Research, Manufacturing, item transfer, illuminated night map and all the different kinds of UFO missions. Additionally many 3D models have been added. 

To reduce the size of the download a separate audio pack has been created.  This audio pack will only need to be downloaded once.

==Preliminary system requirements==
* [[Pentium IV]] or [[AMD Athlon]] 1800 Mhz
* 512 MB [[RAM]]
* [[Windows XP]] or [[Windows Vista|Vista]]
* [[DirectX]] 9.0c
* [[.NET Framework]] 2.0
* [[Microsoft XNA|XNA]] Refresh 1.0 Runtime Distribution
* [[GeForce 6 Series|GeForce FX 6200]] / [[Radeon R300|ATI Radeon 9500]] or comparable, all with recent drivers. (Please don't be shy to try it with older GFX Chips, like the [[Geforce 5]] Series. We have unconfirmed reports of Xenocide working with these Chips as well.)
