BM Elite Force 2

This is the second game in the BM Elite Force series (not much related to each other). BM Elite Force 2 has been my autumn hobby project; I create a new game in a new (for me) language every christmas dedicated to my good old friends. This year the game was written in Scala using the Java library Slick2D (built on LWJGL).
