From: jblaine@garnet.acns.fsu.edu (Jeff Blaine) Subject: Xasteroids binary uploaded to tsx-11.mit.edu Date: Mon, 30 Nov 1992 03:59:49 GMT
I grabbed the source for xasteroids (asteroids for X windows) from
export.lcs.mit.edu and compiled it. The binary was uploaded to
tsx-11 minutes before this post. If interested, grab it when the
ftp maintainer moves it to its proper directory. It was compiled
on 0.98 pl1 linux with xfree86.
Description: for those who have never played it before, it is a
black screen with white line asteroids floating around to shoot at.
NOTE: To get all of the keyboard commands that can be used and how
to play instructions, ftp to export.lcs.mit.edu cd contrib and get
the very small xasteroids.Z ( i think ) source file. All of the
key commands and their functions along with the source code are all
in that one textfile. Cut out the key commands and save them as some-
thing like xast.doc. Here are the few key commands that I remember,
which should be enough to get you playing:
e,r rotation of your ship
o thrust
p fire
Q quit
esc pause
spacebar is hyperspace
