About
=====

Open development by the original author, Matt Ownby, ceased years ago.

Singe was created by Scott Duensing as a plugin to Daphne to allow the playing of American Laser Games.

This repository was created to build upon the Hypseus project created by Jeffrey Clark. Many overlays were still unimplemented in the original repository. Singe had also been removed.

The name was changed to Hypseus so the original authors of Daphne would not be burdened with requests for support.

A big thanks goes out to Matt Ownby, Scott Duensing, Jeffrey Clark, Manuel Alfayate, David Griffith and the many other developers who made their work available for me to build upon. Without them this project would not be possible.
