################################## # SPACETHING # # The worst thing in space # # # # (C) 1999-2001 # # S.Stickland # # S.Dodimead # # # ################################## ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to "SpaceThing - It's a thing in space" ----------------------------------------------- http://www.spacething.org email: sam@spacething.org, shaun@spacething.org, adam@spacething.org, ----------------------------------------------- NB: AN EXTREMELY LARGE AND IMPORTANT MESSAGE ----------------------------------------------- READ THE DISCLAIMER!! This is a PRE ALPHA ENGINE test, meant only to help us find out what kind of hardware this software will be used on, how it will work, and what sort of issues there are related with performance and portability. PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING MORE THAN A QUICK BLAST before the game crashes or does something weird. We really appreciate all feedback from this engine test, you can reach us on Sam - sam@spacething.org (Network Code and Graphics) Shaun - shaun@spacething.org (All other stuff) PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL US SAYING "THIS IS REALLY SHIT, I LIKE QUAKE 3". We want only constructive criticism, and problem reports. PLEASE CHECK THE WEBPAGE FOR UPDATES -------------------------------------------- REQUIREMENTS -------------------------------------------- LINUX: You will need an OpenGL lib (Mesa), and an fast Intel Pentium processor, or compatible (eg. AMD etc. However SpaceThing MAKES NO USE OF 3DNOW! :) ). You will need PLIB, and ACE, and accelerated OGL. You will need GLUT for linux also. These are all standard OpenGL options under Linux Windows: exactly the same :) GL/GLUT: MESA: http://www.mesa3d.org GLUT: http://reality.sgi.com/mjk_asd/glut3/glut3.html -------------------------- OK, I WANNA STILL TRY IT!! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thankyou for helping to try out the prealpha engine test of Spacething. Spacething ---------- Spacething is divided into two parts, a server and client programs The SpaceThing server however can act as an interactive client, this reduces the bandwidth, CPU load, and requirement for a networked computer. GAME CONTROLS ------------- Client controls are quite simple Single Mouse Click - Enables/disables mouse flight control Mouse Movement - Allows user to fly the ship when mouse control is active A and Z - Increase and decrease your speed SPACE - Launch Missile X - Drop Mine Q and E - Roll your ship left and right C - (C) Comedy Instant Handbrake I SUGGEST TURNING OFF 1-3 (Planets and floor) on the software editions ESC - Quit
