DopeWars was originally created by Matthew Lee (mattlee@mit.edu) while he was at MIT.  Unfortunately, Matt hasn't made any changes or updates to the game in about 3 years.  Also in that time he has since left MIT and is no longer reachable.  Along with that the DopeWars website has been taken down.  Taking all that into account, while I was playing the game I noticed a few bugs.  So, since the source code was available, I decided to go ahead and fix them as well as add a few new features (see "What's New" below).

DopeWars is not intended for audiences under the age of 18 due to its drug-related content.

"This program is freeware, and the source code is available free of charge as well at the DopeWars web site.  I believe the Palm community could use more quality free programs and less poor-quality shareware programs.  Also, I learned PalmOS programming from studying other programmers' code, and I hope new programmers might learn something from my code as well."  -- Matt Lee

The help dialogs in the game explain how to play the game.  Either click on the info icon in the upper right hand corner of a dialog box or access the help topics from the Help menu in the buying/selling screen.

"Thanks goes out to all of the kind people who sent me feature suggestions, pointed out bugs, and shared their appreciation of the game with me.  This game is great because of your contributions!"  -- Matt Lee

Since I have taken over development for the game, please feel free to email me comments and suggestions for the game.  Also there is now a website for the game at http://dopewars.kicks-ass.net and I can be reached over AOL Instant Messenger at DopeWarsOnAIM.

Have fun!
