   Description     : Space-based vector arcade game - shoot rocks and
flying saucers

Kuiper Ranger is a faithful implementation of a classic vector arcade
game in which your
ship shoots down rocks and flying saucers to gain points.

This high-quality game was developed in C++ using the SDL2
platform-independent graphics
and sound library SDL2 (supporting X11 and Wayland). I have already
ported it to Windows
and published it on the Microsoft Store. My goal now is to publish it to
Debian so that it
can filter down to various Linux distros for people to enjoy.

I am looking for a sponsor to help me check it out and guide it into the
repository. I
will then continue to maintain it. There are several ways to view the
game in its current
state:

1. Clone the repo https://github.com/curtmcd/KuiperRanger and run "make"
2. Install test package from
https://www.fishlet.com/data/kuiper-ranger_2.6-1_amd64.deb
3. Play the on-line (wasm) version at https://www.fishlet.com/kuiper-ranger/
4. Install the version for Windows 10/11 from the Microsoft Store

This looks so cute and might be used to replace some other much similar game
in Debian that would be in a derelict state. (ie: no upstream, relying on SDL1)
I cannot remember the name right now. I had a Vectrex
