- The SHOOT KEY fires your current weapon.
- The ACTION KEY can do two things:
-
- 1. Toggles flight mode.
- Rotate mode - Rotate mode is similar to the old arcade game
- Asteroids. Motion is controlled by rotating the ship to
- the direction you want (clockwise or counter-clockwise)
- and pressing a thrust key. So the player's motion keys
- follows:
-
- ┌─────────┬─────────┬─────────┐
- │rotate cc│forward │rotate c │
- │& fwd thr│ thrust │& fwd thr│
- ├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
- │rotate │forward │rotate │
- │counter-c│ thrust │clock-wz │
- ├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
- │rotate cc│reverse │rotate c │
- │& rev thr│ thrust │& rev thr│
- └─────────┴─────────┴─────────┘
-
- Direction mode - Direction mode, is your basic mode. Up will
- go up, down will go down, left..left, etc. Unlike most games
- which automatically change to that particular direction, the
- ship will rotate to that direction. So the player's motion keys
- follows as:
-
- ┌─────────┬─────────┬─────────┐
- │up-left │ up │up-right │
- │ │ │ │
- ├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
- │left │ │right │
- │ │ │ │
- ├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
- │down-left│ down │down- │
- │ │ │ right │
- └─────────┴─────────┴─────────┘
-
- So pressing the UP key will automatically rotate the ship
- until it is facing up. UP-LEFT will rotate the ship to a
- 45 degree angle facing up-left. You can do combination of
- keys, for in-between positions. Pressing the UP and the
- UP-LEFT key will turn the ship to 22 degrees to the left
- from the UP position. LEFT and the UP-LEFT key will turn
- the ship 22 degrees UP from the left postion. Experiment. ;)
-
- 2. Links/unlink ships. Works only with two players. If two player's
- ships are close to each other, the action button will link the two
- ships as one ship. This will increase fire power and overall ship
- speed.
