AstWar is a 2D space shooting game that utilizes a terminal interface. Players can fight against enemies, dodge obstacles, and collect power-ups within the game.
AstWar is a 2D space shooter that operates through command lines. With its ncurses-based interface, this software boasts simplicity and ease of use. Players control two small ships, represented by asterisks, situated on opposite sides of the screen, engaging in a classic shoot-out.
One of the most significant features of AstWar is its network compatibility, providing users with multiple options for multiplayer games. The software is also compatible with Scheme, a programming language that extends the ability of players to automate controls of their spaceships - which is currently under development.
AstWar offers provisional keyboard controls for two players. For player one, the controls consist of UP (q), DOWN (a), and FIRE (e). For player two, the controls are UP (i), DOWN (k), and FIRE (y).
This updated version of AstWar offers a wide range of improvements. Added sound effects have been implemented for users with Linux. Enhancements to the shooting module include updated #ifdef statements to help improve performance. A makefile with added *.h support, as well as added sound effects for each player, rounds out the enhancements for this software. Finally, developers have added the ability to exit a thread in the astbeep.c module.
Overall, AstWar should be the top choice for anyone searching for a low-level, unique, and engaging 2D space shooter.
