OpenTyrian================================================================================OpenTyrian is a port of the DOS shoot-em-up Tyrian. Jason Emery generously gave the OpenTyrian developers a copy of the Tyrian 2.1 source code, which has since been ported from Turbo Pascal to C. The port uses SDL, making it easily cross-platform.Tyrian is an arcade-style vertical scrolling shooter. The story is set in 20,031 where you play as Trent Hawkins, a skilled fighter-pilot employed to fight Microsol and save the galaxy.Tyrian features a story mode, one- and two-player arcade modes, and networked multiplayer.== Additional Necessary Files ==================================================Tyrian 2.1 data files which have been released as freeware: http://camanis.net/tyrian/tyrian21.zip== Keyboard Controls ===========================================================ctrl-backspace -- kill OpenTyrianalt-enter -- fullscreenctrl-f10 -- ungrab mousearrow keys -- ship movementspace -- fire weaponsenter -- toggle rear weapon modectrl/alt -- fire left/right sidekick== Network Multiplayer =========================================================Currently OpenTyrian does not have an arena; as such, networked games must beinitiated manually via the command line simultaniously by both players.syntax: opentyrian --net HOSTNAME --net-player-name NAME --net-player-number NUMBERwhere HOSTNAME is the IP address of your opponent, NUMBER is either 1 or 2depending on which ship you intend to pilot, and NAME is your aliasOpenTyrian uses UDP port 1333 for multiplayer, but in most cases players willnot need to open any ports because OpenTyrian makes use of UDP hole punching.== Links =======================================================================project: https://github.com/opentyrian/opentyrian irc: irc://irc.freenode.net/#tyrian forums: http://tyrian2k.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=opentyriangeneral
