Danger from the Deep is a simulation game that allows players to experience World War II as a German submarine. Players can take control of the submarine and engage in battles against enemy vessels while navigating through difficult underwater terrain.
The development team welcomes anyone interested in contributing to the project but focuses on Linux distributions binary packages contribution. The game supports multiple languages (English, Italian, and German), but other languages will be implemented soon. Danger from the Deep is written in C++ with the use of the Standard Template Library (STL) and is hosted under the GNU General Public License on SourceForge.
The game's main menu is simple, and some items on the user interface are missing. However, the game offers basic world simulation with night and day cycles, realistic water and cloud simulations, different types of ships (civilian and military), and basic physics. Players can take control of a submarine, surface ships or control the onboard destroyer AI. The game includes tonnage recording and a log book, which makes it more engaging.
To run Danger from the Deep, one would need to have the following SDL libraries installed: libSDL, SDL_image, SDL_net, SDL_ttf, SDL_mixer, SDL_sound, and FFTW3. The game also uses the Scons build system.
To get help with any game-related issue or share experiences, players are encouraged to visit public forums. Overall, Danger from the Deep offers players an enjoyable gaming experience with decent graphics, various missions, and an opportunity to contribute to the project.
